Stop Eating My Sesame Cake: Congo (1995)

Described recently by one of its stars as 'one of the great bad movies of our time,' the widely-panned 1995 cinema outing for Michael Crichton's Congo is given a hearing at the Explorer's Club. A somewhat out-of-time 'jungle movie,' Congo is sometimes a competent if silly B-grade Indiana Jones adventure, with odd nuggets of social commentary on the genre itself. And some of it is, in fairness, a mess.But it's got lost cities and mystery animals, so it's squarely within our territory.We might not win over any hearts or minds on this one, but we'll damn well try! Bring coffee and sesame cake for this trip to the Club.
