The Island of Dr. Moreau 2/15/97
In honor of the late great Val Kilmer, we're talking about one of his worst films that hit the Top 10 video rental charts in February of 1997, The Island of Dr. Moreau. (In fairness, this episode was recorded before Mr. Kilmer's untimely passing, and we recommend you check out one of his other, much better films - The Salton Sea, Spartan, etc.) Marlon Brando also starred in Dr. Moreau, a movie that is wacky both in front of and behind the camera. Join Hollipop and Robi as they chat about this delightfully B-movie with an A-level cast. New episodes the first week of each month!
