Episode #201: The Cable Guy (1996)

So-so box office, lukewarm reviews, and a massive payday for the lead actor led to this movie being labeled as some sort of insane misfire. But it's not. To say movie nuts like thuis movie more now than they did back then would be a massive understatement. My thanks to film writer Matthew Simpson (@SmatthewAF) for picking a great movie to celebrate Overhated's next hundred reviews. Check out the list of episodes here: bit.ly/3WZiLFk.
