Ep. 264 – Wild Wild West

Episode 264: The Crew’s fighting a giant steampunk spider while watching Barry Sonnenfeld’s Wild Wild West. After ruling the Fourth of July box-office with Independence Day and Men in Black, Will Smith stumbles with this box-office bomb. The critics and audiences weren’t happy with the film. The story is bad, Smith and Kevin Kline lack their usual charisma, and all the blue screen composites are terrible (especially for a $170 million budget). But the production design, props, costume design, and music are truly amazing. Will Smith kills the title song, which may be the best thing to come out of this film. Correction: Judy Garland’s version of A Star is Born isn’t the original, it’s also a remake. If you like our music intro, head over to Soundcloud and hear more amazing music from aquariusweapon.
