<p>It's an image that everyone remembers: an orca whale suspend in the air, mid-jump, over his young boy friend as he escapes from an EVIL aquarium. Free Willy (1994) was a massive hit and absolutely iconic - but it's a much weirder movie than you remember.  In today's episode, Allison's friend Nick joins us to talk about being OBSESSED with Free Willy and find out whether or not he STILL loves it! Topics include:</p> <ul> <li>How homeless kids were depicted in 90s movies! (HINT: it's a mix of Charles Dickens and a skate park)</li> <li>Just how EVIL the bad guy is! </li> <li>How terrifying Michael Madsen being a supportive step-dad really is! </li> <li>How weird it is that all of the main characters friends die on the streets! (THIS IS CONJECTURE BUT PROVE US WRONG). </li> </ul> <p>Does Free Willy hold up? Find out on UPON CLOSER INSPECTION! </p>

Join host Allison Tweedie and co-host Kyle Carpenter and their guests as they rewatch movies from their childhoods and ask important questions like: "why were we allowed to watch this?" "Who thought this would be good for kids?" "What messed up lessons was this teaching us?" and, maybe most importantly, "should kids today watch it?"
