The Parent Trap (1961)

As if this remake season would start with any other film but the
classic The Parent Trap from 1961. We finally pay attention to
the plot from a critical lens, and boy, does EVERYone here need
therapy! We talk accents, hair cuts, practical effects, earworm
songs written by two brothers who could only write bangers, and
all kinds of glop. Stick around, dear hearts, and maybe we’ll
drop your name once we’re 30 minutes in.
