We have a special surprise this week; MRT VIP listener and very good friend Andrew is back with us as a guest host! And we have provided him with his own shake-up for the Eyes Wide Open theme; his pick had to be based on a book. And so he chose the 1985 gem, "Brewster's Millions" starring Richard Pryor and John Candy. This film's interesting premise requires the main character to spend $30 million in 30 days in order to inherit $300 million. However, there are some. . . restrictions. The film is based on a novel that's over a century old and has been made into a movie adaptation at least seven times.
We also go through our own "Brewster's Millions" scenarios and of course, talk about how great 1980s films were. So join us, as we spend lavishly (and hypothetically.) And make sure you get a receipt!
