Outrageous Fortune | MovieBitches RetroReview Ep 62

[@bafbaas1210]

I saw u guyseses letterboxd account and u giving la la land the lowest score is truly inspiring

[@NextToToddliness]

I'm always as shocked as Avaryl, when Andrew mentions a film he's never seen; even though we shouldn't be. - 💜 you, bunts!

[@sunlovin641]

In an old episode of Oprah, Bette Midler talked about how she and Shelley Long did not get along. It’s too bad because the two of them are amazing both separately and in this movie!

[@txsailor82]

I just saw it on KZbin, she said it was pretty rough

[@blackburdy5261]

i imagine bette is also a bit of diva too, sometimes two fabulous bunts doesn’t always work.

[@peterf8789]

I just tried to find this clip and instead stumbled on a clip of Tina Turner and Cher being interviewed by Oprah and it was faaaabulous

[@ashleymiklich4070]

Well that's unfortunate doesn't harm my thing for either I don't anything ever Will

[@ashleymiklich4070]

@@peterf8789 I'm pretty sure if I stumbled on that in my search I'd be stuck there awhile

[@j.michaels4566]

Yes to Disaster month! Any of the Airport movies, Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno, Twister, etc

[@MattAlgren]

Add Airplane, followed immediately in the same video by Zero Hour

[@janeeyre1990]

Krakatoa: East of Java has a special place in my heart for being absolutely terrible ... But I saw it as a kid so it may be super racist or sexist or ableist or other -ists that flew right over my head at that age.

[@CPTDoom]

I am a huge disaster flick fan - favorites are Poseidon Adventure, where Red Buttons' nebbishy haberdasher is the real hero, and the original Airport, which is the most inadvertently feminist film ever produced.

[@andrewjones9991]

I think the reason Bette and Shelley didn't work together again is the same reason very few actors worked with Shelley again and the reason that after Shelley's handful of 80s blockbusters we didn't see her again until she had a small part on Modern Family. She was apparently a complete nightmare diva.

[@proteus529]

Ok, so with the love of 80s movies and Peter Coyote, you HAVE to check out The Legend of Billie Jean! It's an 80s cheesefest extravaganza (with a killer soundtrack). And yes, The Great Outdoors holds up :)

[@apatouros7572]

Chicago also had a "diagonal billing" for CZJ and Zellweger - or Zellweger and CZJ 🤣

[@jae5103]

Shelley Long's IRL behavior was apparently the inspiration for Valerie Cherish

[@GooseFinder]

If not her, then apparently Kathy griffin lol

[@blackburdy5261]

omg, now this makes so much sense. i see it now.

[@travelchic908]

This is the first time I've ever heard someone else say they were obsessed with Outrageous Fortune as a kid. I was totally obsessed with this movie too as a kid too! Plus The Money Pit and Big Business! No one else in my class knew what I was talking about 😂 80s movies are the best!

[@jonathanlerma2602]

Since you seem to be reviewing my child hood can you do She Devil starring Roseanne Barr and the great Meryl Streep

[@proteus529]

This movie is epic!

[@martincurrie6243]

This and Ruthless people cemented my love of Bette Midler.

[@BoxyTimeForAll]

For me it was this and Big Business.

[@TheActualCathal]

I feel like there should be a supercut of Andrew not knowing what movie you're talking about.

[@bblivid]

I didn't know authenticpaint had passed away that's so sad! Thank you for dedicating this to them

[@Juliajett19]

Could you please do a retro review of Flash Gordon?

[@michaelpeter7776]

Outrageous Fortune is a straight up, stone cold classic. It’s just so quotable. ‘Needle dick the bug f@&ker’ and ‘9 years of ballet, asshole!’ are really up there with the best

[@charlesalwyn3486]

Volcano is amazing in the worst way possible. Haha

[@LuJo-se4dc]

In the last few weeks I've gone from never seeing a Bette Midler movie other than Hocus Pocus to having seen Beaches and Big Business. She's the definitive Fabulous Bunt. (And pls give me a Beaches review. I'll sign over my firstborn)

[@tatianamelendez490]

Next Bette movie you HAVE to watch is First Wives Club. It's SO 90s camp, it's insane!

[@smallpercentage]

Ruthless People

[@LuJo-se4dc]

@@tatianamelendez490 I'll add it to the list!

[@KingdomLex]

She's great in The Rose too

[@RR-qz3zg]

So Andrew has not seen Thelma and Louise? Averyl you know what to do

[@emroyka]

If you got a kick out of Outrageous Fortune, you absolutely should do Ruthless People with Bette Midler, Danny DeVito, and Judge Reinhold!!!

[@SHIkun9000]

Avaryls ability to connect actors in roles will always astound me.

[@ToliBera]

I really need to hop on the patreon wagon. mostly to request "The Money Pit" it's another fabulous Shelly Long performance, with some solid slapstick comedy. there's some yikesy moments, and I think it's one of the few movies to date where Tom Hanks plays an unlikable character. should put a hunt on for the VHS

[@jmcb00]

Two weeks

[@ToliBera]

@@jmcb00 well, the turkey's done.

[@queenmagentafox]

This was on the frequent rewatch list with ruthless people and Troop Beverly Hills when I was a kid. Thank you for reminding me to rewatch it tonight 😁

[@carveylover]

Florence Stanley is also Roz in Monsters Inc. She was wonderful.

[@Moonstone115]

My favourite movie, and my late Mum's, ever!❤ It's still now my go to film when I need just over an hour off from the world ❤

[@blackburdy5261]

It’s surprising how many movies of my childhood starred bette milder. she had a solid run in the eighties and early nineties.

[@chromaticaking]

I'm begging for a review to Everything Everywhere all at Once! One of my favorite movies in a while.

[@sammybear7100]

Omg! I just recently saw this and loved it! If you want another underrated Arthur Hiller joint you should watch Carpool(1996) with Tom Arnold, Rhea Perlman and a young Rachel Leigh Cook. It's freaking hilarious, its basically Speed for kids (and I don't mean Ritalin) lol

[@Servo1616]

I just got finished with your review of Troop Beverly Hills only to see this pop up in my suggestions brand new! Made my night. You all make me genuinely happy. Especially when I dont have anyone else around who understands my love of campy movies. I have so much fun watching your reviews.

[@vampy8334]

Y'all need to retro review some Frank Oz films. Little Shop of Horrors, Stepford Wives, What About Bob, Dark Crystal... The man has done some fun films.

[@eba9121]

I mentioned this movie when you guys did the Troop Beverly Hills review 😂 The Peggy Bundy walk Bette does is everything! Haha

[@carveylover]

You guys can do Disastrous December. I wouldn't be mad at that. You can watch Volcano,Towering Inferno, Earthquake, and..those are all I can think of right. Unless you want to subject yourself to avalanche but I wouldn't if I were you.

[@ainem.t1482]

Can you guys PLEASE do Ruthless People next!

[@serenityq26]

thats not where i know her from. i know the ticket agent (florence stanley) from my two dads, the judge who over saw the custody case. she also did the voice of grandma in the tv series dinosaurs

[@tjfrizzi5965]

Years ago on a talk show interview Bette Midler answered a question about working with Shelly Long again. But Midler said Long was tough to work it on Outrageous Fortune. She alluded to Long having some personal issues on her own that affected her attitude on set. However Midler did say she might work with her again but yeah it never happened.

[@davecool42]

Absolutely adore this movie! And I've always loved its great soundtrack/score.

[@michaelpeter7776]

Is there a video of Avaryl responding to Andrew saying he hasn’t watched a film then going, wwhhhhaaaatt!!??

[@_krbrs_]

Yes, many times! Some were pretty deserved ahahah

[@carveylover]

Sooooooo I tried watching this movie maybe like 2 months ago and I hate to say it but I could not get into it. I don't know what it was but I just didn't love it. I might have to rewatch it and give it a second chance after this though. I might not have been in the right place for it.

[@Fatamorgana420]

I can't believe I laughed so hard at the rape and murder building line. Still am...

[@richreviews892]

For having a title Moviebitches Andrew hasn't seen a lot of movies...the one's that matter at least.

[@gigitastic90]

If you do disaster month I request you each wear a wig from the Disata Pile

[@ashleymiklich4070]

So it goes without saying maybe in an unconventional way this movie had the biggest impact on me as a child

[@AmosFamos]

More Bette Midler! The most over looked gay icon.

[@AppallingTrashFilms]

Great review. One of my favourite films. 😂😂😂

[@christinea2355]

2:50 RIP Anne Heche :(

[@darceyhicken8885]

"He's not gonna kill us... because we are going to be r@@@d and murdered in this building" ICONIC!

[@TomIdelson]

That split leap at the end was all I needed to convince to stick to Ballet as a child!

[@christianruiz5385]

It was not just a leap it is referred to in ballet as a Grand Jete' !

[@skeeverapfelbaum7168]

I hope you two have seen American Dreamer!

[@nickymint]

I just squealed when I saw this come up!

[@Juliajett19]

That's a great idea;a disaster movie month!

[@jmcb00]

I was around eight years old when I first saw this movie I was obsessed! The first time My grandmother ended up renting this and Little Darlings and not looking at the rating just thought the titles were kid friendly. I learned a lot that weekend 😂 I also wish they would’ve done more films together. Apparently they had a little bit of a feud but did they really or was that just the media pitting them against each other however I do distinctly remember a Bette Midler interview where she says it was difficult working together

[@cavegirl7157]

YES to Disaster Month by the way!

[@szenderman]

At this point I need to Patreon you guys just to force a Dante's Cove review, people are clearly requesting the wrong things. 😄

[@samueldelorenzo5231]

One of my favorite movies...It is on Disney +

[@molamola7093]

Distater month! Yes, please, please, please, please!

[@tonyblock84]

AVARYL!!!!!! Thief!!! I love that movie so much. Protzky is so diabolical in it.

[@frk4musl]

Avaryl and Andrew, so wonderful, as always!

[@doingthestrand]

so glad I stopped your review to go watch this the opening titles are giving saul bass, but also these wonderful ones from Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5i8aaqFi5djfpY

[@lb5368]

I adore Women on the Verge... I have rented it so many times at this point I need to just buy it! Almodóvar puts Fabulous Bunts in so many of his films😎

[@janeeyre1990]

STANISLAV! I have auditory processing disorder and thought you said "Santa Claus" was deboarding the plane. Well done on getting that correct, auto-gen captions in English! Usually auto-gen butchers all non-English words and names.

[@seangerant653]

now out on blu-ray !!!

[@EricKarlAnderson]

Please do a disaster movie month! 👏

[@jonathanlerma2602]

My parents took me to see this as a small child because I was obsessed with Shelly long. Love that you love this!!!!

[@johnjohnson2825]

You seriously need to do a comparison of the two Thomas Crown Affair. I love the 90’s remake. One of my favorite film.

[@dustrahne]

One of my favorite movies. Just watched Hello Again too. She may have been a nightmare to work with but she acted in some of favorite movies.

[@toddhenry898]

Volcano vs Dante’s Peak

[@serenityq26]

brad pitt was 24 at the time so he could have done it. i was 4 so i could have been the kid who they ran into at the crackhouse :) "who gave you the gun?" "sanna" lol

[@leticiaconstantine3898]

So glad for this Summer Camp special

[@matthewbenge7112]

On Oprah...I believe...Bette said she and Shelley did not get along on set. So...

[@j.michaels4566]

Ocean's 8 had a bad score. I was never excited at any point with it and music should enhance the visuals.

[@brockmadden9510]

This movie is racist. C’mon.

[@ashleymiklich4070]

Well I was 10 I would have never picked up on that at 11 or 10 in 87 or 88 I didn't understand that growing up in Abington Township PA basically Philly Most of my friends were black and I saw a bunch of Funny Eddie Murphy Movies like both 48 Hours movies Trading Places Coming to America and those Movies deliberately made charged and obvious racist situations into funny jokes so with the climate in Abington Township PA back then (if you don't believe me reference The Goldberg's the show it is exactly the same town and they even have an episode where Adam had to be filled in what racism in a serious sense actually was) that's why identify with that show so well it's my childhood sameplace same time period but anyway ignorance isn't an excuse but I was a Scrappy Irish Boxer Growing up in Philly and heard guys in the Boxing gym talk about racist mother fers this and that and I'm sorry I saw Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte or Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd go back and watch trading places it's funny as hell but the premise idea with Mortimer and his Brother was racist as hell So I apologize for the Cultural difference through time but since I couldn't spot the Racism it made the Erotic moments easy

[@ashleymiklich4070]

But never the less I am sensitive to that racism is never tolerated

[@Juliajett19]

The Great Outdoors is a fantastic movie.

[@graffic13]

I was obsessed with this movie as a child as well.

[@susietester931]

I got a kidney here and it aint gettin' any fresher

[@serenityq26]

yay! a classic! big business next?

[@torkaviantales802]

I love this movie!!!

[@hypnagogic_kid]

Here for my besties

[@draum8103]

I'm sorry but moviebitches is wrong here, this movie is absolutely terrible....

[@glenncheatham1320]

Get over yourself looking for anything to be “offended” by.🙄 FF’s Sake!
