Parents (1989)
“You really like the dark, don’t you, Michael? You can be yourself in the dark. But, you know? There’s one dark place that we have to be very careful in…”
It’s yet another fifth Thursday (in February?? REALLY??) and you know what that means! That’s right, it’s the second-ever episode of Straight Up, the show-within-a-show where we let Tucker fly in the face of God and the format to bring us all a movie from the deep recesses of his memory! This week, we’re looking at this Bob Balaban-directed dark comedy and, along the way, we’re chatting about cannibal movies, gearshift movies, and why we should have seen the Randy Quaid downward spiral coming! We also plan an impromptu Walter Hill theme month and reassert our appreciation for the oeuvre of John Waters!
There is one dark place that we ALL have to be very careful in: social media! Follow us there!
