Episode 200 - Wild Things (1998)

linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema This November is “No Nut November” at Catching Up On Cinema! All month long, we'll be reviewing erotic thrillers from the 80's and 90's! This week, Trevor and Kyle celebrate the 200th episode of Catching Up On Cinema with a review of John McNaughton's, Wild Things (1998)! Released at a time when the erotic thriller genre was being phased out in favor of teen-focused sex comedies and Scream (1996) rip offs, Wild Things (1998) is a competent neo-noir that has since developed a minor cult following. Benefiting massively from the charms of its charismatic and very game cast of players, Wild Things is nothing special from a writing or production standpoint, however it manages to keep the viewer engaged with a steady drip of smolder, sex, and plot twists. Perhaps best remembered as the film featuring (executive producer) Kevin Bacon's penis in a brief, but essential cameo, Wild Things is a decent erotic thriller, that, perhaps unfortunately, also perhaps marks the transition point for the subgenres' trajectory towards hibernation/obscurity.
