The Vintage Movie Book Club- Final Destination

Hey, welcome to a brand new podcast, from Jimmy and Jen. This is the test/pilot episode of The Vintage Movie Book Club, where we read and review novelisations of movies from the 80s and 90s. The books must have been released at the same time as the movie to qualify. Except this month, where we picked a book based on the fact we both watched the movie again recently.

The Grease 2 (1982) Problem

It's the start of a brand new era here at "So, What's the Problem?" as it's time for Jen and Jimmy to watch movies have never seen but have heard they are possibly problematic. Or, in the case of this movie, they just wanted to bitch about Grease. This should be a once a month deal, to try to change things up a little. Next week will be Jen's pick that she has seen but Jimmy has not.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) Problem

We are back and we start off year 4 with this early 90s thriller which is much better than the mid-90s thriller we covered before our break. This is what we call a "bad pick" but we have a good discussion about the movie anyway. Contains strong language and adult topics such as miscarriage and assault. Blame the movie. Should be a lighter show next week!
