158: We're Wrong About... The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) with Emily V. Gordon

It's finally time to say, "Fair is fair!" Producer and Academy Award-nominated writer Emily V. Gordon joins Mark and Jacqueline on today's show and brings in one of her all-time favorite films, the 1985 classic 'The Legend of Billie Jean,' to defend its honor against its wretched 39% Rotten rating on the Tomatometer. Set in Jacqueline's hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas, the film follows Helen Slater's Billie Jean as she fights wealthy bullies, saves abused children, and becomes an icon for the ages. Have you seen 'The Legend of Billie Jean?' Do you side more with its 75% Audience Score? Or is it a film best left to 1985?
