Where to Watch The Wild Life
- MrBluesmannMarch 26, 2026Typical B-movie. Very 1980’s vibe! I watched it because the AI told me that this is the movie featured in the Bon Jovi video for their song Only Lonely, from the 7800° Fahrenheit album. It has absolutely nothing to do with it! Though I kept watching anyway. It’s far from good, the story is flat and goes to nowhere. But the cast is good, there are a few known names in their early days of acting.
