Make sure you bring a piece of silverware to the watch party for the audience participation portion of the movie.

What is the silverware part?

[squirrels_oh_no]

LOL, when Melissa asked about an F-5, someone loudly drops their fork on their plate. It's a joke in my family - if you hear someone say F-5, you drop your silverware.

I love that!

omg I was planning on watching it too! I wonder if I can join again now that my HBO Max changed to Max

[squirrels_oh_no]

If it's anything like Netflix, as long as it's available on your version of Max, it should be good.

[tonicol]

Yeah I just tried and it didn't work :( I'm not in the US so maybe that's why, it's the same with Prime, Netlfix works well I think

In case there are any Melissa fans - https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/w38dox/dr_melissa_reeves_is_one_of_the_most_criminally/

Also the Twister Museum in Wakita and the 25th anniversary event!

And since it is related to Twister, in case anyone is curious about the history of Big League Chew...

I just watched Twister for the first time in probably 25 years and I thought the Melissa character was so refreshing! She wasn't a villain, just a nice woman who came to realize she and her fiancé were wrong for each other. She was a really good sport up until then too, totally down to hang with her man and his ex and their ragtag team of stormchasing weirdos.

And I hope she fucked Dusty after leaving Bill, he seemed like he would be a good time.

LMAO I found a thread on Twitter where someone theorized that after the events of the movie, she and Dusty hooked up. Also a theory that she died in a tornado on her way home.
