What's Up, Doc?

About this episode

Emma and Katie discuss the 70's film 'What's Up, Doc?' and its connections to classic screwball comedies.

Emma & Katie watch this 70's throwback to 30's screwball comedies, starring the two hottest people you've ever seen, and discuss Ben McKenzie, a family friendly Twin Peaks, Manic Pixie Nightmare Girls, female Kramers, the Full House theme song, the house from Charmed, and also the excellent movie! Fact Check: What's Up, Doc was not the first American movie to credit its stunt performers. A few other films did so, not the least of which was It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in 1963.
