Cinemakers: Amy Heckerling #049 – Look Who’s Talking (1989)
After struggling through our last two movies, Look Who’s Talking is a breath of fresh air. It’s also one of the weirdest movies we’ve talked about on a podcast in recent memory. Featuring a surprisingly likeable (or maybe not so surprising) duo in Kirstie Alley and John Travolta (plus Bruce Willis as the voice of the most wise beyond his years baby in history), Look Who’s Talking is a complete and total about-face from the last two movies in Heckerling’s filmography. It’s clear from the incredible — and incredibly bizarre — opening scene that this is a movie and a story that means a lot to her. Next week, we’ll see if the sequel lives up to this one (and could we see the third movie in Third Time’s A Charm soon, too?), but even if it doesn’t, we’ll always have this weird, wonderful movie.
