Ep 243: "Sister Act" Revisited
Listen now
Description
Whoopi Goldberg was a nun on the run in the 1992 megahit Sister Act. The Emile Ardolino directed comedy had its offering plate overflowing in box office bucks, with audiences unable to get enough of the film's pop-song-singing Sisters. But now, decades later, is the novelty of the "nunsense" enough to sustain a rewatch? Does the movie still take us to church, or have us reaching for earplugs? And what on earth is an acclaimed actress like Maggie Smith doing in this thing? The Old Roommates get down on their knees and discuss the saintly shenanigans through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this. Old Roommates can be reached via email at [email protected].
