In this episode of the show our April journey through Robin Williams-starring 80s comedies continues with a discussion about the 1983 The Survivors. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the disconnect between what the filmmakers wanted to achieve with this movie and how the audiences rejected it, as well as how some critics did see what the movie actually wanted to be. We also talk about how The Survivors tries to decide whether it wants to be a buddy comedy, a farce or a cutting satire of Reagan’s America, how Robin Williams might not be the best material for a buddy movie, how the satirical commentary remains prescient today and much more!
