Episode #818: Pretty Woman (Live in Boston) (Patreon)

Recorded December 4, 2024 at Laugh Boston - Boston, MA

“Could I get some ‘directions’ over here?” - Eric

On the final Summer Live episode this season, it’s our show from last year in Boston chatting about the rom-com classic, Pretty Woman! What kind of high society rich-guy party hires a close-up magic performer? Why did they write Julia’s character to act like a space alien? How about that McDLT commercial?! And did Garry Marshall push for Hector Elizondo to play E.T.? PLUS: The super-mega-sized finale of the VHS Trailer Game!

Pretty Woman stars Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Jason Alexander, Ralph Bellamy, Laura San Giacomo, Alex Hyde-White, Amy Yasbeck, and Hector Elizondo as Barney Thompson; directed by Garry Marshall.
