    184: God is a 17-Year-Old Reese Witherspoon (Season Finale)

    It's our Seson Finale, and we're talking about 1998's Pleasantville, a movie where a black-and-white sitcom turns color and everyone gets really mad about it! Sound familiar? We talk about all that P-Ville has going on, which is a lot - and everything it does really well, which is most of it, and the stuff it doesn't do well, which is... whooo, buddy. Anyway, remember if there's an issue with this movie, Gary Ross knows and does not care. Like this? Join our Patreon, reach us on Bluesky, or send us an email: breakingmayberry@gmail.com
