Before there was Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, there was Joan Wilder sliding down a Colombian mudslide in heels. In this episode of The Regular Guy Movie Show, the guys travel back to 1984 to revisit Robert Zemeckis’s adventure rom-com Romancing the Stone. We talk genre-blending, iconic character arcs, and why Jack T. Colton is cooler than he had any right to be. Brian brings the trivia, Justin dives into character breakdowns, and Seth tries to not quote every single Danny DeVito line.
Topics Covered:
- Genre fusion: rom-com meets action-adventure
- How Joan Wilder’s arc anchors the whole film
- Ralph and the underrated brilliance of Danny DeVito
- Behind-the-scenes drama (and Zemeckis nearly getting fired!)
- Soundtrack, special effects, and why this movie still charms
Final Verdict:
Does it hold up? Tune in for our hot takes, nostalgia trips, and whether this one still deserves a spot on your Saturday afternoon lineup.
