Episode 27: Encino Woman (1996)

Happy Anniversary! This episode marks one full year of SotSA, so to celebrate we’re reviewing Encino Woman (1996), the made-for-TV sequel to our favourite movie, Encino Man. It’s really not fair to compare the two, but this movie has its own message and it does its best to tell it. Or maybe it’s just the 90s nostalgia…
