Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  We’re closing out The Streisand Effect with a movie that did not want people paying attention to it for the reason people were paying attention to it.  Due to workplace safety issues, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed with a prop gun wielded by actor Alec Baldwin during the production.  Understandably, that tragedy is the only thing many people know about the film and the only thing that many people talk about regarding the film.

And that includes us.  But other than that, Mr. Lincoln, how was the play?

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month we’re celebrating The Streisand Effect and we’re kicking off the festivities with my mandated movie: Barbara Streisand’s lauded throwback to the screwball comedies of the 40s, WHAT’S UP, DOC?  I’d heard this was a classic.  I’d heard this was hilarious.  I’d heard this was eminently quotable.

But why did no one tell me this has one of the best vehicular chases ever committed to film?!!!
