7: Legal Eagles
Sunday Oct 24, 2021
Sunday Oct 24, 2021
With the giant hit of Ghostbusters behind him, Ivan Reitman can work with even bigger budgets and stars... but is he up the challenge? What happens when you listen to your agent too much and are used to your funny friends saving your productions? And is this movie really about lawyers, or about the fine art scene? Find out in 1986's Legal Eagles.
UPDATE: RIP artist Chuck Close, who died this summer.
UPDATE: RIP Newman's Own BBQ Sauces, which are discontinued. I checked with the head office and everything.
