Episode 58 - Touchstone's Ishtar

Out of Touchstone - A podcast by HoneyNerds - Mondays

It's now the Summer of 1994 and Disney has both a huge hit and a minor success at the box office - but sadly, neither of those came from Touchstone.  As a result, the co-hosts get to do their customary deep dive into I LOVE TROUBLE, a film mostly remembered for the behind-the-scenes squabbles between its two stars, Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts.  Mike and Chad both agree that it was a missed opportunity for Touchstone to cash in on the star power of the two leads, though the supporting cast is top-notch.  At least Disney made out okay with the other two films mentioned on this episode: THE LION KING stands as one of their greatest achievements, and their inspirational remake of ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD was another feather in the studio's cap.  You win some, you lose some.
