The Movie Guide with Maltin & Davis

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, this week Leonard and Guy revisit The First Wives Club, exploring the film's themes of sisterhood and self-empowerment, the impact of its star-studded cast, and the cultural context of its release.

They delve into the dynamics of gender in filmmaking, the nostalgia associated with revisiting older films, and the stand-out performances of Midler, Hawn and Keaton.

Leonard also discusses annoying Sylvester Stallone in the 80s, what he doesn't like about Idiocracy, as well as touch on the topic of "casts that were better than the films they were in".
