The Air Up There
This week, we're digging into the 1994 White savior basketball comedy, "The Air Up There." We wonder whether a bunch of scenes are missing from the first act, examine the film's depiction of Kenya, break down the myriad recruiting violations, and find out what happened to Saleh after the movie.

The Mod Squad
This week, we're digging into the 1999 gritty teen cop drama, "The Mod Squad." We try to figure out how old all of these characters are supposed to be, wonder why the entire police force hates their guts, invent an imaginary scene from the movie, and showcase our finest Chicago accents.

The Boy Next Door
This week, we're digging into the 2015 erotic thriller(?) The Boy Next Door. We try to understand the central conflict of the film, examine the logic of opening the movie with flashbacks of characters we don't know, debate the very questionable consensuality of the sex scene, and bust out our finest farkakte Yiddish phrases.

Beautiful Disaster
This week, we're digging into the 2023 romantic comedy satire, "Beautiful Disaster." We assess whether or not this was a clear enough satire, examine the wild tone shift the movie makes going into the third act, wonder what the book version of this movie is like, and join in an impromptu rendition of, "Baby It's Cold Outside."

Some Kind of Wonderful
This week, we're digging into the 1987 John Hughes movie, "Some Kind of Wonderful." We try to understand why they named the movie what they did, evaluate John Hughes' ability to write for male leads, judge Eric Stoltz's lack of charisma, and break down the nonsense way the movie ends.

Love & Basketball
This week, we're digging into the 2000 sports romance, "Love & Basketball." We examine NBA draft regulations over the years, discuss the feasibility of tearing an ACL from landing after a dunk, heap praise on the Black Excellence throughout the film, and wonder why Monica didn't just learn Spanish.

Customer Reviews
Any kind of school film ranked!
I dig the many chats as the films discussed not only range in quality but there are some obscure/less talked about material as well as many determinations on wether or not the films aged well or are too politically incorrect for their own good these days. Total comedy dynamite and a perfect thing to play in your car while you go out of town!
Interesting
Would love to have any Weinstein produced film that has been reviewed revisited in this post #metoo era to see how his production have had an impact on the way his films were produced- like several male gaze moments in “She’s All That”. Interesting to hear people talk about films- takes me back to college when we did the same, and for credit 😀
Yes
A good mix of laughs, nostalgia, film critique, social commentary. Looking forward to season 2!
