Episode 18: Empire Records - Showgirls - Se7en: September 22, 1995

What’s in the box? Plot? Nuance? Strong dialogue? Only one way to find out... Join the boys as they revisit September 22, 1995, and unpack SE7EN, SHOWGIRLS, and EMPIRE RECORDS!Get ready for the ultimate exercise in frustration! Visit a music store where nobody seems to like or care about music! Enter a world of taboo sexual desire in which the greatest taboo is the fact that nothing sexy or desirable happens! And immerse yourself in a dark, jaded tale of violence and suffering that actually argues for a modicum of hope in humanity! Whaaaaa? I know! Crazy, right?From the confusion in Anthony Lapaglia’ eyes to the shame in Kyle Maclachlan’s pants, this week is a tutorial in actors regretting their choices — except when it comes to SE7EN, a movie so good it might even make you want to uncancel Spacey! (Nah, just kidding, he’s still done...)Reviewing SHOWGIRLS and EMPIRE RECORDS in the same weekend might make us seem like GLUTTONS for punishment (See what we did there?), but rest assured - you’re going to LOSE YOUR HEAD over Episode 18 of OPENING WEEKEND! (Get it? Get it?) In fact, the DEADLIEST SIN of all would be not to listen! (OH MY GOD! HELLO!?!?! DO YOU GET ALL THREE OF OUR SEVEN JOKES????? I DON’T MEAN THREE OUT OF SEVEN DIFFERENT JOKES. I MEAN THREE JOKES ABOUT THE MOVIE SE7EN. HELLOOOOO? IS THIS THING ON??????)
