Official Show Notes[]
- "Due to the ongoing refusal of the AMPTP to negotiate in good faith with the WGA or with our union brothers and sisters in SAG/AFTRA, we’re hitting pause on discussing current releases, and focusing on some films 90’s kids will remember. This week, we talk Wild Wild West (the 1999 movie version of the 60’s sci-fi western TV show) a blockbuster mega-bomb that nearly ended multiple careers!
