028 - SOMETHING WILD (1986)

Welcome to The Criterion Connection, a podcast about The Criterion Collection. On this episode, Ian (they/them) & McKenzie (she/her) begin what may be their most fun double bill to date, starting with Jonathan Demme's oddball cult classic: SOMETHING WILD (1986). We discuss tropical storm RAY LIOTTA's performance as well as the electric chemistry between JEFF DANIELS & MELANIE GRIFFITH. We also discuss the filmmaker and what makes him unique. Other topics include: Ian saw some middling films and McKenzie checked out more than she thought including a Demme made-for-TV movie.
