Mary Versus the Movies

Episode 34 - Something Wild (1986)

Broadcast on:

It's an episode of unbridled enthusiasm as we take on Jonathan Demme's romantic-screwball-comedy-meets-domestic-crime-drama Something Wild, starring Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels, and Ray Liotta, and littered with music from David Byrne, John Cale, Laurie Anderson, and a memorable appearance by New Jersey's post-punk legends The Feelies playing a high school reunion. We fell in love with this movie before it was even over.
