579: "One of those 'I glued a bird to my head' days" | Forget Paris (1995)
This week, we're grabbing a courtside seat and catching a flight back to Forget Paris. There's the often-comedic chaos of married life, the clever friends-at-a-restaurant framing device, and that signature Billy Crystal charm. Is it a funny, insightful look at making love last beyond the honeymoon phaseâor does the reality of career clashes make you want to, well, forget Paris?

A quick announcement
Hey everybody! I'm sharing a quick announcement in case you've noticed our release schedule getting a bit off lately and you don't follow us on any social media.
I was notified a few weeks ago that the role in my school district is being eliminated. That being the case, quite a bit of my time lately has been spent doing some searching, applying, etc., to new jobs. We're working to make sure we don't skip too much of a beat with getting new episodes out, but we wanted you to be aware of that little life update.
Be excellent to each other!

577: "$9,104. I counted it... twice." | Empire Records (1995)
This week, weâre headed to Empire Records and they're open 'til midnight. Weâll be celebrating its cult classic status and ultimate 90s vibes, but also taking a closer look at its chaotic charm and depiction of youth rebellion. Is it a quirky anthem of teen freedom, or just a beautiful mess of a movie?
