Review of Cocoon (1995) by Justin E — 15 Jul 2007

Steve Guttenberg is in this movie. So is Wilford Brimley. I wonder if they were friends. When Guttenberg's career went down the toilet, and the bank foreclosed on his house and his wife left him for the gardener, did Guttenberg show up on Wilford's doorstep, filthy and unshaven, stinking of booze and failure, shrieking something along the lines of "I GOT NO PLACE ELSE TO GO!"...?

And if so, did Wilford invite him in for a bowl of quaker oatmeal and a lecture about the dangers of diabetes? And maybe Stevie Goots (as his friends call him) crashed on the couch in Wilford's basement for a few weeks, finally overstaying his welcome to the point that Wilford's wife gave him the ultimatim "Either he goes or I go."...? And what was Wilford's response, you ask? Tune in next time for the exciting conclusion of "Stevie Goots and The Wilf-Meister." Same Stevie Goots Time, same Stevie Goots channel.
