Sunday Sep 10, 2017
Travis is joined by Brew Boss Shawn to re-imagine some deep cuts from the psychological thriller genre. First up the guys brainstorm actors who could play a devious roommate or a sleazy boyfriend in Single White Female (1992), then an alliteration-heavy slate for "Midnight Double Feature." In the second half they turn their attention to Julia Roberts and the cast of Sleeping with the Enemy (1991) and wonder if modern technology has made the thriller genre a thing of the past. Finally, the return of the Wild Card segment, with a true classic movie and a handsome leading man who is recast with someone much more sinister.
