Today, for Mom's Day, we tackle the 1987 feature film directed and co-written by Charles Shyer (Father of the Bride) and produced and co-wrritten by Nancy Meyers (Father of the Bride, Private Benjamin).

The cast is STACKED - Dianne Keaton, Harold Ramis, James Spader, Sam Shephard, Victoria Jackson, Sam Wanamaker. It features a very 80's baby and is ostensibly a feminist movie but has become horribly dated since its release. Now coming across as moe of a Hallmark movie than a true blue equality manifesto, BABY BOOM is an oldie but not quite a goodie.

Nevertheless, it's worth a revisit to see how far we've come. A few moments are still authentically funny, and we of course paired it with two wines: one that matches the film's deficits, and one that contrasts it and gives you what you're missing!

DALLAS' WINE: Charles Shaw (2 Buck Chuck! Or I Guess 4 Buck Chuck Now?) Cabernet Sauvignon

DAVE'S WINE: 2022 Škegro Family Winery Blatina “Krs Crni”, Bosnia & Herzegovina (yes, a wine from Bosnia! Made from the indigenous "Blatina" grape!)
