The wonderful Katie Stebbins (Herbie: Fully Loaded) becomes our newest #BOGBFF as she makes her triumphant return for a real mess of a movie: Jodie Foster in FLIGHTPLAN, a theoretically twisty, tricky thriller where the only twist is that nothing makes sense and the only trick is that you thought it otherwise might.
We discuss the film's impossibly nonexistent legacy for being one of the 20 highest grossing movies of its year, thanks to its preposterous, dishonest script that keeps you intrigued until the moment it reveals it has no clothes, as well as going deep into 2004's THE FORGOTTEN, a film with a nominally similar premise that goes in a much, much different direction.
It's always a joy to have Katie on and we got REAL punchy during this record, we had an absolute blast! Check it out!
