The Contrarians103

John Travolta as a funny angel? You had us at “Travolta”. Unfortunately, critics were a lot less receptive to MICHAEL, yet another unfairly maligned Nora Ephron comedy. Listen to Alex and Julio as they welcome Vincent Vega back to the show and wonder why William Hurt isn’t silly more often! Experience the joy of getting a lot more Robert Pastorelli anyone could’ve wished for! Realize the big loss country music suffered when Andie McDowell decided to pursue acting! All this and Bob Hoskins too!

PLUGS!

- Alex thinks REVOLUTIONARY ROAD is great but doesn’t need to watch it ever again.

- Julio went in blind to COME FROM AWAY and loved it.

- Hans Rothgiesser, the man behind our logo, can be reached at @mildemonios on Twitter or you can email him at mildemonios@hotmail.com in case you ever need a logo (or comics) produced. And you can listen to him talk about Peruvian politics on his own podcast, NACION COMBI. Aaaaand you can also check out all the stuff he’s written on his own website. Don’t know Spanish? He also did a podcast in English called LIVING IN PERU, about immigrants in - where else - Perú. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, he has a new zombie novel out, REQUIEM POR LURÍN. Ask him about it!

Up next, things will probably get weird when we tackle David Lynch’s BLUE VELVET! In the meantime, let us know how you liked Michael! Did also find yourself taking Travolta for granted? Were you rooting for William Hurt and Andie McDowell to get hitched? Is this your favorite Robert Pastorelli movie?
