Summary
This might not be one of the biggest movies we've covered for the show, but almost everyone who saw Overboard when they were younger still seems to have a lot of love for it now. And with good reason - Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are hilarious and charming in the lead roles. In fact, they're so good that it almost makes me you forget how shockingly insane the premise and some of the set pieces are.
Topics include: some confusion over what the endgame of Dean's plan is, the "special appearance" by Edward Herrmann, why Joanna shouldn't be allowed to leave the house, the words and phrases we repeated as kids before we knew what they actually meant, the uncomfortable sex scene we never thought twice about when we were younger, and much much more!
