When an amnesiac mother's memories start to come back, she realizes she's a CIA-trained assassin who's long been thought dead. When her past comes back to haunt her, she teams up with a private eye to take care of business. The Long Kiss Goodnight has us talking Christmas, Shane Black, Gender Politics, Plot Devices and much more. Tune in now to hear our thoughts on Geena Davis and The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Week 3 of I Dream of Geena arrives in a hurry as we tear through the midwest to discuss Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise. It's Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon on the run in a high octane buddy crime drama. After things escalate in a country bar parking lot, Thelma and Louise decide to go on the lam and leave their old lives behind. We talk about the prescience of Thelma & Louise in a post-Me Too society. Topics of form and genre also come up as we bring a lot of praise to this 90s classic. Let us know how you feel about Thelma & Louise and where we got it right or wrong!

So, tune in as we go eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye-to-eye with The Fly.
