This week on The Wasteland Retrospective, host Shane Conto (The Wasteland Reviewer) is joined by SPDM Crew podcaster Adam Ritchie (KerbRider) for a deep dive into two classic films from writer-director Lawrence Kasdan:
🎬 Films Discussed:
- The Big Chill (1983) — starring Kevin Kline, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum & Meg Tilly — the definitive baby boomer ensemble drama
- Body Heat (1981) — starring William Hurt & Kathleen Turner — a sultry neo-noir thriller that launched Kathleen Turner's career
The Wasteland Retrospective is a weekly film podcast where Shane Conto and a guest each pick a related film to discuss together — spanning cult classics, neo-noir, and hidden gems across every era of filmmaking.
