Picture it, cinemas, 2007: "Rush Hour 3" has just released, "Superbad" is just a week away, and "The Simpsons Movie" and "Bourne Ultimatum" drawing viewers in during their third and second weeks playing. A little-noticed fantasy movie based on a Neil Gaiman novel called "Stardust" gets lost in the summer movie shuffle -- but hasn't lost its luster to the small but passionate fans who still watch it today. Katie and Kate discuss the film's comfort-movie status, draw parallels between Robert De Niro's Captain Shakespeare and "Our Flag Means Death," giggle at babies Charlie Cox and Henry Cavill, and lose the plot completely in favor of other topics like Lady Gaga's Chromatica Ball, censored viewings of "The Tudors," and whether George RR Martin will ever write those last two books (spoiler: he won't, no matter how much Kate challenges him).
And no, this episode is not about the 2020 David Bowie biopic that wasn't allowed to include any David Bowie music.
