Where to Watch Brewster McCloud
- cultfilmlikerJanuary 17, 2026Not the PG movie I was expecting when I sat down to watch this with my mother! Some of the jokes and dialogue in the first act aged like bird shit. Otherwise, it was spectacular. The opening credits bit was cute. Clearly helped inspire Monty Python and the Holy Grail Seeing Margaret Hamilton was wild! The ruby slippers were a little extra. The professor reminds me a lot of Dr. Strangelove Brewster is very good at doing pull ups with his calves! S-tier car chase 8 1/2 ass ending lol
