About this episode

The hosts discuss the 1983 film The Big Chill, exploring its themes and characters.

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug has no trouble picking the two hotties out of this group of friends, Jamie isn't exactly sure why there is both a Meg Tilly and a Jennifer Tilly working at the same time, and we both acknowledge how dumb their privileged white people problems are...even though we can relate. Put on your new running shoes, don't break that quaalude in half, and join us while we discuss a movie that is 99.9% dialogue, The Big Chill! The Big Chill is a 1983 film written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan and starring Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, William hurt, Kevin Kline, Mary Kay Place, Meg Tilly, JoBeth Williams, Don Galloway & Kevin Costner.
