Episode 73: 1999 - Office Space
Office Space turns 20 in 2019, so we decided to go back to a time of TPS reports, PC load letter, Swingline staplers, Chotchkie's, Flingers and consultants named Bob. We break down the incredibly deep cast (Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, David Herman, Ajay Naidu, Diedrich Bader, Stephen Root,...
-
Episode 72: 1989 - Major League
It's a movie that has never really left our radar for 30 years, but we caught some things we didn't expect when watching it with pen and paper in hand. Join us as we spend 77 minutes with relentless stalker Jake Taylor, Wild Thing Vaughn, Pedro Cerrano, Wille Mays Hayes, Roger Dorn, Harris, Lou...

-

We're finally back with a new episode, in which we return to 1990 yet again to immerse ourselves in the world of My Blue Heaven (starring Steve Martin, Rick Moranis and Joan Cusack). For a couple of us, it's a mostly enjoyable trip down memory lane. For one of us, though, it raises a familiar...
