Ep 246: "Splash" Revisited
Listen now
Description
Daryl Hannah and Tom Hanks came, saw, swam, and conquered the box office in Ron Howard's hit, Splash. Audiences couldn't get enough of the boy-meets-mermaid romcom back in 1984. Who could blame them? With iconic scenes (lobster, anyone?), cool underwater sequences, and great supporting work from John Candy, Splash was an all-around crowd pleaser. But now, forty years later, will our common sense still allow us to get lost at sea? Does Allen even deserve true love? And why is Madison so horny? The Old Roommates set sail on a wave of nostalgia, romance, and maybe (just maybe) a little trauma, all through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
