"My son is not a freak!" No, there was nothing subtle about the 1976 John Travolta made-for-TV movie, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, yet we remember it fondly. Sun-dappled horses, loving parents, and a kindhearted kid in a plastic tube certainly ring the bells of nostalgia, but how well do we really remember it? Is Gina just a girl next door or a cold-blooded, money hungry bully? Is the family doctor a savior or ... something else? And why does this "boy" look 35? The Old Roommates rub on the antibacterial gel and discuss this Emmy-winning rollercoaster all through their middle-aged lens.
