Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we’re talking about time travel, paradoxes, and separating out the things that are pleasant from the things that are unpleasant. In 1998, Big and Dave screenwriter Gary Ross made his directorial debut with a quirky comedy starring Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon. The young up-and-coming stars were cast opposite stalwarts William H. Macy, Joan Allen, Jeff Daniels, and J.T. Walsh in a romp through classic television – literally. When a mischievous TV repairman (played, of course, by sitcom legend Don Knotts) sends the Ninties teens into a Fifties Leave It To Beaver knock-off, things only get stranger when their modern sensibilities start turning the black-and-white town all sorts of newfangled colors. Despite positive reviews and a first-place opening weekend, the film ultimately failed to enchant audiences and became a box office flop. Now we’re tuning in to see what all the hubbub is about in Pleasantville. But does it belong in reruns, or should we burn every copy we find? This is Chronovember!
