Summary

On the penultimate episode of WRLH's Fondavision miniseries, Danita and Emily hit the books with 1990's Stanley & Iris, a.k.a. the movie that supposedly made Jane Fonda leave acting for 15 years. Would this box-office bomb have succeeded if it chose a lane, focusing solely on the title characters' attempt to combat adult illiteracy (with a lil' romance still thrown in, of course)? Did John Williams actually go off with that overtly wistful score? Why don't more movies put Robert De Niro in glasses? What the heck was going on with Jane's wayward claw clips? And can someone please buy us an egg roll while we wait for our laundry to dry?
