Would you like to swing on a star? Or would you rather recall the 1991 Bruce Willis showcase Hudson Hawk? This difficult-to-describe antic comedy was a critical and box-office bomb, but is beloved by many today. How does it fare here? Well, don’t make a drinking game out of us saying the word “ridiculous” — it comes up a lot, both for good and bad. And if you’re wondering if there’s a podcast that unexpectedly and incongruously references the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist, that would be this one.
Also, Andie MacDowell fans may want to avert your ears.
It’s not ridiculous at the beginning and then not at the end; no, it’s stupid the whole way through.
