A Fish Called Wanda (1988)

from Alcohollywood

This week, returning guest Nick Freed joins us to talk 1988's A Fish Called Wanda, the caper-comedy written by and starring John Cleese! When a group of thieves (Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Palin, Kevin Kline and Thomas Georgeson) successfully steal a buttload of diamonds, the four quickly begin turning on each other, eventually wrapping a sheltered, middle-aged barrister (Cleese) into the larcenous fold. Check out our custom cocktail and drinking rules as we talk Curtis' femme fatale, Palin's stammer, and whether or not Kline deserved to win the Oscar for his hammy role as Otto. (Thanks to our sponsor Jackbox Games, a proud member of the Chicago Podcast Coop!) Related Links: Our episode on Felony (the origin of 'double-crossed'!)
