Mimi Rogers

And sure, this movie isn't for everyone, even me to be honest, but there is a nostalgic charm to be found in a movie that you really don't see replicas of anymore.

Kicking off tonight's stack is 1987's Street Smart, directed by Jerry Schatzberg, starring Christopher Reeve, Morgan Freeman, Kathy Baker, and Mimi Rogers.

In this one, Reeve plays a hungry New York reporter who can't land the story that he needs, so he invents one, building a pimp profile out of thin air, which seems to solve his problems until the real world starts matching his fiction in the worst possible way.

Everyone seems everyone seems defeated by everything I've mentioned so far from go.

The great Mimi Rogers is playing Catherine's mother, Tiffany, which is not what such a woman would be named, by the way.

And she looks like she wants to lay down in the middle of the BQE.

And I do not blame her.

with all three of Tom's exes.

Yes, he was.

So he had an affair with Nicole on the set.

Gary Busey.

Mimi Rogers.

Hider.

In the house.

... an element, too, though, of, as you said, uh, Chris, of sort of, oh, you know.

Remember he was married to Mimi Rogers.

He does have this-

Mm-hmm

You can see there's very few trees.

And Mimi Rogers, who I think is hysterical.

And actually a totally lovely person.

I'll chat about her in a second, I think.
