Ep 108: "Annie (1982)" Revisited

“Do I hear singing in here?” Moviegoers definitely got their share of songs in the 1982 movie<br />musical, “Annie”... but critics didn’t sing its praises. But now, 40 years later, was the film as<br />misunderstood as Miss Hannigan? The movie boasted a world-class director (John Huston), a<br />dazzling cast (Carol Burnett, Albert Finney), and a beloved lead character with a built-in fan<br />base. Upon rewatch, does Aileen Quinn amaze or annoy? What are the laws around “renting”<br />an orphan? And, will the sun come out tomorrow? The Old Roommates blow the whistle on this<br />big-budget sing-along.
