Has Robin Williams ever been more “Robin Williams” than in The Fisher King? Yes, back in 1991, Robin gave audiences everything: the comedy, the drama, the furry, full-frontal nudity. The movie also gave Brian and Christina full-on “pop culture PTSD” via a graphic nightclub-shooting scene. Yes, this kinda-complicated tale of a former shock-jock seeking redemption from a homeless man shook audiences with a variety of themes and an Oscar-winning performance by Mercedes Ruehl. Now, over 30 years later, does the film’s topsy-turvy tone still land on its feet? Does Mercedes still...rule? (Wow.) And, can Brian and Christina watch “the scene” with open eyes...and full stomachs? The Old Roommates search for the holy grail and re-watch Terry Gilliam’s opus. Listen to this.
