Feb 22, 2024 Season 5 Episode 6
Claire Bolton, Dan Gibbins, and Erin Weir

It's 1995, and we have cuckoos and sharks coming your way! The Oscar went to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, second film ever to achieve the Oscar Grand Slam, as Jack Nicholson's anti-hero McMurphy squared off with Louise Fletcher's icily villainous Nurse Ratched. It's hailed by a classic, but how does it hold up? And what do other versions of the story do better? But the audience pic is the birth of the blockbuster, Steven Spielberg's classic, Jaws. Claire, Erin, and Dan dig into both, and ask who we feel more sympathy for: controlling nurses or giant sharks? Grab your floaties and find out!
