Legally Blonde

The 386th Ellises' Analysis has us gabbing about a popular 2001 rom-com, although whether or not this is even a rom-com was up for debate. There's no argument that Reese Witherspoon charms and glows in Legally Blonde. This isn't the best performance of Reese's career, but it's probably her signature role and the movie would likely stink if she wasn't playing such a likable Elle. We had some disagreements about the quality of the script though, specifically the entire premise of "I'm going to win back my mediocre ex-boyfriend", partly because the yutz never deserved her in the first place. Anyway, this pithy pink flick is a fun way to ring in the spring, so bend & snap your way into our prestigious Harvard-ish podcast, but first study hard and win everybody over like a certain Miss Woods always, always does.

Well, Actually: The immortal Chuck is played by Jason Christopher. Also, the recent TV shows Reese has produced that we couldn't think of are Little Fires Everywhere and The Morning Show.

Bend and snap (okay, don't do that because it won't help at all in this situation) to get some Sparkplug Coffee. Your bag or many bags of delightful beans will be 20% cheaper if you apply our promo code ("top100project") at checkout.

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

Moulin Rouge
