Ep 172: "The Big Chill" Revisited

Glenn Close got an Oscar nomination for 1983's "The Big Chill" playing Sarah, a woman grieving over the suicide of an old college chum. But Sarah is just one of the characters shaken by his death. Yes, the Lawrence Kasdan film was sort of a Breakfast Club of shared secrets and dashed dreams for the thirtysomething set. Now, nearly 40 years later, is this all just a lot of talk? Why is everybody doing drugs? And, is Jeff Goldblum's character just an earlier version of Ian Malcolm? The Old Roommates pop on some Motown and revisit the post-funeral fun. Listen to this.<br />Bonus content including Brian and Christina's favorite song from the soundtrack available at patreon.com/oldroommates. Follow Old Roommates on social media @OldRoommates.
