Netflix Roulette brought us a bright spot in the careers of both Cher and Nicolas Cage with the operatic romantic comedy Moonstruck. The family relationships are improbable based on ages alone, but the stellar performances all around sell this story about a woman who is drawn to the fiery, much younger brother of her meek fiance. What does she see in him? How does she get so buttoned up by her 40s and he gets so bitter before 25? How does she live in Manhattan and not know where the Met is? Why didn't OLYMPIA Dukakis ever run for president? Connect with your hosts!
