641: "Spontaneity has its time and place" | The Sure Thing (1985)

We’re digging into the archives to bring you a former Patron-exclusive! This week, we’re unlocking a classic episode from a few years ago for everyone to enjoy: our breakdown of the 1985 quintessential road-trip rom-com, The Sure Thing. Before he was a cynical high-fidelity record store owner, a young John Cusack was Walter "Gib" Gibson, a college freshman braving a cross-country trek for the promise of a "sure thing" waiting in California. But when he's forced to share the ride with his uptight classmate Alison, the open road becomes a battlefield of bickering, bad weather, and unexpected chemistry. It’s a charming look back at a film that proved Rob Reiner had the magic touch and that sometimes, the best things in life are the ones you didn't plan for. 🎧 Did you enjoy the episode?
