Classic Movies Live Season 6, Episode 25 – If I Had Legs I’d Kick You
November 12, 2025
This week on Classic Movies Live, our hosts talk about one of the buzziest movies from this year’s Sundance Film Festival, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You!
The sophomore feature from director Mary Bronstein — her first following 2008’s Yeast — If I Had Legs follows a psychotherapist named Linda as her life rapidly falls apart around her. Already stressed while dealing with her daughter’s special needs and her sailor husband’s absence, Linda’s world is turned upside-down when a hole suddenly opens in the roof of her apartment. After moving into a local motel, Linda now has yet another thing to balance within her already overfull life.
If I Had Legs stars Rose Byrne as Linda, with fantastic supporting performances from Conan O’Brien in a rare dramatic role, A$AP Rocky fresh off of Highest 2 Lowest, and rising star Ivy Wolk. Our hosts talk about what drew them to this movie, and how much or little Bronstein’s manic energy pays off!
