#59: "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" (1982) 43 Years Later

Update: 2025-04-03

Description

This week your host Elise Hernke takes a look at both the musical and the 1982 movie version of the class "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. The bulk of the discussion is focused on comparing the two adaptations based on a TRUE STORY and how I think it holds up against todays current cultural and political landscape (It holds up tremendously well).
