Episode 067: Even Cowgirls Get The Blues (1993)

Gus Van Sant’s adaptation of Tom Robbins’ “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues” is generally regarded as a failure, an opinion Andras (who has read most of Robbin’s books) shares. Bryan (who has not read the book) loves this film, which leads to a conversation about the responsibility (or lack thereof) directors have to their source material.

Written & Directed by Gus Van Sant. Based upon “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues” by Tom Robbins. Starring Uma Thurman, Rain Phoenix, John Hurt, Pat Morita, Victoria Williams, Lorraine Bracco, Sean Young, Carol Kane, Buck Henry, Keanu Reeeves, Crispin Glover, Ken Kesey, William S. Burroughs, Ed Begley Jr., Angie Dickinson & Roseanne Arnold

How is the world wrong about Wrongness

From Bryan Connolly: So much hate is dumped on this movie. Undeserved! It’s weird. It’s funny. Maybe it’s not like the book. Good. Read the book. Enjoy that for what it is. Now let’s enjoy this movie that has Pat Morita as a sexy guru!
