Almost Classic Movies

This week, Jon and Don take a deep dive into Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), a film that sits in the grey area of "almost classic." They break down the movie’s dark reimagining of the classic fairy tale, its production choices, and whether or not it holds up today. Along the way, they discuss:

• Chris Hemsworth’s pre-Thor physique & questionable accent choices
• Kristen Stewart’s surprising performance – is this her best movie?
• The Queen’s strict (and deadly) beauty regimen – does Charlize Theron steal the show?
• The case for MORE dwarves – why did they wait so long to introduce them?
• Weird fairy tale logic – that random white horse, mirror monsters, and hallucinogenic forests
• The Wilhelm Scream Easter egg & behind-the-scenes trivia

Plus, Jon drops some film history, Don brings back “Donald’s Dating Tips,” and they both try to make sense of the two true love kisses in this film.

Rating: Did Snow White and the Huntsman earn a classic status or remain firmly in "almost classic" territory? The verdict is in – tune in to hear their final rating!
