It's time to head back to the world of comedy one more time on this list with the British box office smash A Fish Called Wanda. How in the world did Kevin Kline shape his infamous and Oscar-winning performance as Wanda's narcissistic lover Otto? Does Michael Palin's portrayal of those affected by speech impediments hold up over time? This movie was going to be an even darker comedy at one point?! They also dive deep into the 'fish scene' and talk about what Kline was WILLING to do to make it work! All this and more in this week's episode - bon appetit.
 
The guys also draw next week's movie out of a hat! What will it be? Join us, won't you?
