Ruthless People

Mike Field and Mike Butler encounter their most 80's title sequence yet as they discuss the 1986 film Ruthless People, starring Danny Devito, Bette Midler, Judge Reinhold, Helen Slater, Anita Morris, and Bill Pullman in his first film role

Join the Mikes as they discuss how this film might be the most 80's of 80's films, from design, to cinematography and everything else. Every character is introduced perfectly; within the first minute or so with that character you know everything you need to know about them. Devito and Midler play their terrible characters perfectly and Reinhold and Slater are extremely watchable and hilarious and the bumbling kidnappers. This film deserves to share the pedestal normally reserved for other films of the 80s.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
