Romancing The Stone: Michael Douglas, OG Rat Boy

from Podstruck: A Rom-Com Rewind

SUBCATEGORY: GETTING SOME ACTIONThis week we're heading deep into the Colombian jungle for our first action adventure romantic-comedy, Romancing the Stone (1984). This movie is a romance novel, a treasure hunt, and a comedy all rolled into one, and we are here for it! Join us as we discuss how both Elena AND Chelsea got Douglased by the original rat boy, Michael Douglas, why Kathleen Turner on the other hand should never be described as "mousy", and how this movie single-handedly launched Zemeckis' career and gave him free reign to make Back To The Future! Plus we discuss our love for Danny DeVito, some behind the scenes secrets and mayhem that took place with one of the crocodiles on set, and ponder why men are so obsessed with boats. If you love romantic comedies, '80s movies, adventure films, Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas, treasure hunts, and mudslides, then this episode is for you!This episode was edited by Nick Duke: https://www.instagram.com/n_dukie/ Follow Podstruck on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podstruckpodGet bonus episodes on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/Podstruckpod Hosted on Acast.
