205 - Pt. 1 - Nickelodeon (CC)
Legend says the great Peter Bogdanovich once asked “Who would dare live in a pineapple under the sea?”. Unfortunately, studios were not interested in exploring the answer to that question just yet, so instead P-Bog made a comedy about the early days of filmmaking. NICKELODEON was a huge bomb and it’s branded with a 17% Tomatometer score, so it’s time for The Contrarians to come to its rescue! Listen to Alex & Julio as they celebrate another Bogdanovich/O’Neals team-up and stare at Burt Reynolds’ clean-shaven face!
