Suzy Buttress (Casual Birder Podcast) and Sara-Mae Tuson (Fable Gazers) return to Flixwatcher to review Suzy’s choice Mystic Pizza.
Mystic Pizza is a 1988 romantic drama starring Julia Roberts, Lili Taylor and Annabeth Gish that also features Matt Damon’s film debut. Not a huge hit on its release, Mystic Pizza has gained a dedicated cult following in recent years and the film is carried by a wonderful performance by Roberts.
Despite its age Mystic Pizza has a surprisingly strong girl power ethic running though it. Lili Taylor’s Jojo gets cold feet on her wedding day and wants to enjoy sex before marriage and Roberts Daisy is much more than the pretty girl of the story. All this while they work at the famous Mystic Pizza restaurant.
