One of the greatest musicals of all time gets the treatment as does one of the greatest westerns of all time. If that’s not fact, its legend. Erik talks about the glory of the first time he saw a newly minted The Untouchables on VHS and Sergio recounts his experience of seeing John McNaughton’s Wild Things in the theater the first time. A lot of great titles this episode so get your wallets ready.
