It’s two-fer time in this Special Episode, where we tackle two topics in one go, recorded live at our yearly visit to Wicks/Miller Cottage this past August. First, we discuss ‘The Sore Thumb’ – movies where one casting choice sticks out like a, well, sore thumb, and makes you say whaaaaa? Second, we reveal our picks for ‘The Black Stain’, which is a truly terrible movie that sits among many other great movies in a well respected actor’s or actress’ body of work. Some of these are terrible in the best/worst way. Enjoy!
