The movie
Show notes
If you grew up in the 90s and enjoyed ice skating, the Olympics, or romcoms, you're sure to have heard the phrase " toe pick " taken from one of the greatest films of ALL TIME - The Cutting Edge ! On this episode, we revisited the fun classic with special guest Caroline (Liz's sister-in-law!) Given that she's a super-fan and hasn't watched the movie for a few years, we included some trivia for her. So come hear how she did. We fully acknowledge that this film is far from a Dumpsterpiece but we decided to do it anyway, because that's how we roll. For the uninitiated, this film is about a temperamental figure skater ( Kate ) and a brash former hockey god ( Doug ) that get thrown together to compete in Olympic-level pairs figure skating, and the inevitable tension that leads them to overcome the odds and brings them closer together. There's so much to enjoy here: lots of montages of the working-out, skating, and party variety; hands soaked in battery acid; skaters getting stuck on lederhosen; and ... fingerpainting? Doug can read and he desperately needs a sandwich, but he just doesn't downshift that fast. The most important question, though is - how many shots did Kate take - 3 or 4? So put on your $69.95 tuxedo, polish your knife collection, practice your sit-spin and join us for this masterpiece - just don't hide your light under a basket. And remember - we're recapping this whole thing in detail, so if you don't want it to be spoiled, go give it a watch and then come back here for the breakdown. IMDB Rotten Tomatoes
