    Clueless

    Fall is almost upon us, which means the fresh faces of youngins' are returning to classes and nearly committing vehicular manslaughter along the way. But our hosts could use a few lessons in sense and sensibility, so with a lack of pride or prejudice, they are revisiting the 1990s classic, Emm- sorry, Clueless.

    Hara-kiri

    With fog billowing over the hills, Greg and Jon face-off stone-faced and ready to duel. But their weapons are not steel-forged katana, but merely words, as they debate the merits and virtues of the 1962 classic of Japanese cinema, Hara-kiri.

    The Before Trilogy (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight)

    With their dreams of traveling to Europe still hampered by the ongoing pandemic, the boys decided to do a little staycation and just, you know, talk about their lives. Just talk and talk. Lots of talking. See how much talking both of them can stand as they revisit the Richard Linklater-directed trilogy, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight.

    Pink Floyd: The Wall

    In a fascist future where creativity is stifled, the boys must rebel and express themselves! Sadly, that is taking the form of podcasting. Well, maybe a whole bunch of drugs will help, but just in time for their dealer to arrive, they can catch up on the 1982 experimental film, Pink Floyd: The Wall.

    The Straight Story

    For this year's Fourth of July celebration, there is nothing more American than a tale of family, stubbornness, alcoholism, poverty, and a lack of public transit options. So this week, the boys are revisiting David Lynch's weirdest film (or weirdest by his standards), Disney's The Straight Story.

    Midnight Cowboy

    The boys have decided you can take this job and shove it! They are going to the Big Apple and they are going to make it. You'll see! But first, they need to see how to succeed in New York City, so they are following the examples set by Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman in the 1969 Best Picture winner, Midnight Cowboy.
