Episode 60 - A Different Side of Steve Martin
Out of Touchstone - A podcast by HoneyNerds - Mondays
Categories:
Disney rebounded from a difficult August 1994 with a September that brought critical acclaim but not the greatest box office results. First up, Touchstone presents a more serious Steve Martin with A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE - both Mike and Chad lauded the performances and the subtle hints of humor, but the third act doomed the film. Thankfully, Hollywood Pictures gave the co-hosts two enjoyable films to discuss in the back half of this episode: QUIZ SHOW, the epic Best Picture nominee with a stellar cast; and TERMINAL VELOCITY, a very fun popcorn film that likely would have done better had it been released during that tumultous prior month for Disney. We've got hermits raising orphans! We've got congressional hearings about TV! We've got...blond-haired Russian gangsters!?!? It's a jam-packed podcast!!
