What this episode covers

How about a heartfelt coming of age story, a critique of the American class system and a rousing sports drama all rolled into one? In this episode of You Should Watch This, Ed pitches Peter Yates' late-70s cycling movie Breaking Away (1979) to Simon. With a host of break out talent (Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Dennis Christopher) playing the disenchanted high school graduates growing up in the prestigious college town of Bloomington, Indiana, Breaking Away hits a symphony of high notes and will get you out of your seat as the local "Cutters" take on the preppy college kids in the "Little 500" bike race.
