Welcome to part two of our discussion of Thelma & Louise. Here we start with revealing some really great listener recasting suggestions, as well as the big winners from our picks in part one. From there we go into the way that female led movies can be viewed, especially by men, and how we’d like that to change, our thoughts on the tone of the original, and how we think it might be made better (or at least different) in a remake, touched on the performances and filmmaking, and finally talked about movie and cultural influences.
