Quinn, Curtis, and John return to the Ridley Scott watch series with 1996's twinkfest WHITE SQUALL, starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Philippe (of CRUEL INTENTIONS fame). The boys begin by discussing the news of the week, including Barbenheimer, the writer's strike, and more. Then they discuss the film, including Boomer leads, links to Dead Poets Society and Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and the story's actual history.
Stay tuned for next week's watch series addition: 1997's GI JANE!
