Retro Fandango | Clue | RIP Walter Koenig and Sir Patrick Stewart
It's a murder mystery with six suspects, a mansion full of secrets, a collection of questionable weapons, and more twists than a pretzel factory!
This time on Retro Fandango, we're heading back to 1985 to revisit Clue, the gloriously chaotic comedy based on the classic board game. With an incredible ensemble cast, razor-sharp dialogue, multiple endings, and some of the most quotable moments in comedy history, we investigate whether this murder mystery was ahead of its time or simply got away with murder!
We'll look back at the making of the film, its initially disappointing box-office performance, its eventual rise to cult-classic status, and why Clue remains one of the most entertaining comedies of the 1980s.
We'll also take a moment to remember two giants of the entertainment world we've recently lost: Walter Koenig, beloved by generations of science-fiction fans as Pavel Chekov in Star Trek, and Sir Patrick Stewart, whose unforgettable portrayal of Captain Jean-Luc Picard helped define an entire generation of television science fiction.
Two remarkable careers, two very different journeys, and an awful lot of memories.
So grab your candlestick, keep an eye on Colonel Mustard, and join us for another episode of Retro Fandango!
