193 - Pt. 1 - The Flintstones (CC)

The Contrarians

You know we are too far gone as a society when we can’t appreciate the beauty of a perfect Flintstones live-action adaptation. We dare you, all of you, to propose a better cast. This was it: there won’t be a better Fred than John Goodman. And if anybody was ever going to crack the puzzle of Barney Rubble’s character, it would be Rick Moranis. But critics had to turn on the movie and now it’s infamously rotten on the Tomatometer. Listen to Alex & Julio as they defend the Spielrock production that deserves the most reevaluating!
