The Silver Linings Playlist

Not every movie wraps up with a neat little bow on the end. Some leave you asking "what the f@#$?!" We're here to find the silver lining in the latter. Join Dustin, Mallie, and Nathan every other Monday as we try to find the light at the end of the tunnel for some of cinema's bleakest endings - and have some laughs while doing so.

We're finally diving into the insane world of Paul Verhoeven with a steamy erotic thriller from the '90s. Of course we're talking about none other than 1992's Basic Instinct! A greasy Michael Douglas tripping over himself to try and bed a young Sharon Stone; what's not to love? Well, a lot, actually. So uncross your legs and get comfortable cause we're spreading this one open to talk about it all, including the movie's striking similarities to Gone Girl, the ultimate tip for douchebag interior decorating, being stuck in a room alone with Steven Spielberg, and plenty more with returning guest Ashley McGlothren!

You can check out Southern Haunts and Oh, That’s a Scary Movie on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Basic Instinct stars Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone. Directed by Paul Verhoeven.
