THE GRAND GESTURE: Sweet Home Alabama

By
As promised (threatened?) we get around to SWEET HOME ALABAMA with the only reason to listen to this episode, returning guest ALLISON of the NOT YOUR LITTLE LADY podcast. In this wide-ranging conversation we discuss watching this 2002 romcom hit with outsiders, Hollywood's obsession with portraying the South as a time capsule, and sacred dog burial grounds. But it's not all serious business as eventually we get into a game of Hot or Not with Southern leading men by doing some on-air research with our personal assistant Google. We buy into Josh Lucas in that respect, but do we buy Reese Witherspoon as a woman who would procrastinate getting divorce papers signed for YEARS? No, but we hope you buy into this episode by clicking on one of the links below:

This release will offer viewers a chance to witness one of the most notorious and graphic films ever made, showcasing a haunting portrayal of America's dark history of slavery. Originally released in 1971, "Goodbye Uncle Tom" is an Italian mondo-docudrama directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi, the masterminds behind "Mondo Cane."
