Episode 36: The BSA's of "Poltergeist" (1982)

While "Poltergeist" is often most well-known for its contributions to pop culture references ("They're here"), it also features a surprisingly emotional story driven by powerful performances from Craig T. Nelson, Beatrice Straight and ESPECIALLY JoBeth Williams. Plus Jerry Goldsmith's amazing score, some kooky quintessential BSA work from Zelda Rubinstein, at least two moments that were reminiscent of Laura Dern in "Jurassic Park," the dog doesn't die, our protagonist is a mom named Diane with a great fashion journey, and Craig T. Nelson is just the gold standard when it comes to hot dads. This movie may not have any actual Oscars, but it's certainly worthy of your consideration.
