Episode 516 - The China Syndrome (Patreon)

On this Brimsgiving edition of We Love Movies, the gang is chatting about the excellent 1979 message movie,  The China Syndrome! Look at the horrible sandwiches Jack Lemmon keeps eating in this movie! How great did that scuzzy bar look? How elegant is Michael Douglas's beard? Why does Jane Fonda own that turtle? And was Brimley's character sneaking Second Lunch? PLUS: Brimley and Lemmon get cast in Clerks!

The China Syndrome stars Wilford Brimley, Jack Lemmon, Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, Scott Brady, James Hampton, Peter Donat, Richard Herd, Daniel Valdez, and James Karen; directed by James Bridges.
