Julian, Madeline and Emilio pop some Asti Spumante and welcome back social media maven and podcast favorite Jamie Homs to talk 'Moonstruck', the beloved 1987 romantic comedy directed by Norman Jewison.  A "Suggestion Box" entry from Madeline, the group makes time to highlight the film's musician-turned-actor Cher, and her lauded and iconic turn as Loretta Castorini.  The group also dives into the film's universal themes of family, relationships and love, breakdown the multiple love triangles, rave about other sensational performances, enjoy the witty script, and share some of their favorite moments and small details.   How many times can we say we were "struck" by something while talking about this film?  More than we realized!
