Are you a Brian De Palma fan? If so, you've probably seen the 1972 thriller Sisters. No? What are you waiting for?! Margot Kidder plays conjoined twins Danielle and Dominique who have since been separated, and the struggles they face living in Staten Island, NY. Jennifer Salt also stars as a reporter who witnesses a murder linked to the twins and is determined to discover the secrets about Danielle and Dominique's past, as well as the doctor who changed their lives. Dan and Jon (brothers, but not twins) celebrate the film's impact and imagine new ways to revisit this horror classic.

It's the year after the release of Jurassic Park - the world has dino-fever and writer/director Stewart Raffill just happens to luck into an animatronic T-Rex and is hell bent on writing a movie around the prehistoric robot. What Raffill didn't know is that his stars, Denise Richards and Paul Walker would go on to star is pivotal films in American pop culture. The film is an incredible examination of mid-90s aesthetics, humor, and character naming, thanks greatly to the role of Weasel, played by the iconic Sean Whalen in an early role. If you haven't watched the movie, check it out first and then listen to Dan and Jon celebrate its weirdness & imagine a new future for a 30+ year-old cult classic.
