Episode 51 - St. Elmo's Fire
In a fitting tribute to the largely plotless ambling of 1985’s St. Elmo’s Fire, Ali and Jon spend a tremendous amount of time not really talking about anything at all, but they look good doing it. Ali walks right into a terrible joke at the beginning, Jon walks a fine line by making it. Both play some sweaty saxophone solo because it’s a Schumacher movie.
St. Elmo’s Fire was indeed directed and co-written by Joel Schumacher, and stars most of the core of the Brat Pack, plus poor Mare Winningham. OH, AND MARTIN BALSAM AND DICK VAN PATTEN’S SISTER!
