TAATM #117: Barbarella vs. They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Erin and Paul review two key films from the career of Jane Fonda. First: BARBARELLA, Roger Vadim's 1968 erotic sci-fi cult film starring Fonda as an interstellar adventurer whose wardrobe of skimpy futuristic outfits is as huge as her capacity for sexual pleasure; then, THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, Sydney Pollack's super-cynical 1969 Depression-era drama starring Fonda as a hard-bitten contestant in a physically and psychologically grueling marathon dance contest. "Pretty, pretty, pretty" or "Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa": which will prevail?

Plus: our quick takes on THE DROP, THE ROVER, GOD HELP THE GIRL, and THE IMMIGRANT.
