Andre (1994)
Episode 6
Wednesday, 10 June, 2020
Back to back episodes! Hot on the heels of our review of Free Willy comes Andre (1994), a film about a girl and her best friend, a seal named Andre, that was obviously meant to cash in on the Free Willy craze! Allison and Kyle are joined by none other than Sarah MacLellan, host of Halifax's very own Intalksicated podcast! She talks about why this movie meant so much to her as a little girl, and why she thinks it set her up for TERRIBLE RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEN. Topics include: The bizarre movie poster that took this nostalgic story set in the 1960s and made it seem like a TOTALLY AWESOME 90S MOVIE! SKATEBOARD! KICKFLIP! What it feels like to be a weirdo kid who relates to animals! The strength of character it takes to forgive the man who tried to MURDER YOUR PET with a PITCHFORK. The dark secret behind this movie (the actor who plays Andre isn't a seal at all!) Is Andre the best friend we've ever had, or ever will have? Find out when we check it out UPON CLOSER INSPECTION!
