Run The Julias

Well, if it ain't a new dang podcast!

TV's Kevin & Kat Scott begin their sojourn through the filmography of the gigawatt moviestar Julia Roberts at the only place they could: the career-making Pretty Woman. They discuss no other topics. Certainly not how many teeth they have, whether oral sex is top or bottom behavior, and nothing regarding Shakespeare in the Park. Nothing at all.

Is Pretty Woman brilliant or an exquisite piece of hackwork? Listen to find out!

Answers await you in the new Run The Julias!

And they still find time to answer one very important question: is Meryl Streep good in this movie? The answer may surprise you!

Next time: The Season 1 finale & Mystic Pizza: Origins - Miami Vice, Satisfaction (1988), Baja Oklahoma, and more!!

August: Osage County (2013) w/ Graham Techler - Run The Julias

TV's Kevin & Kat take a little side avenue before they close out Season One. It's like that time on LOST where like two or three episodes before the series finale, they just threw in a big flashback episode about Jacob & the Man in Black. Allison Janney was there. I feel like this has become pretty standard on TV since LOST kind of pioneered this format. You can't really watch a season of an HBO show without this happening now. Or even Apple TV+, which really THINKS it's the new HBO but I am not convinced.

Anyway, this is a commentary over an episode of Miami Vice. That commentary begins at 16:57!
