Hello…? You’ve reached the winter of our discontent. And we’d like to buy you all a coke. Just don’t steal any Snickers.
Get yer shoes on, Steve Zahn! It's movie soundtrack March, and we're so excited to talk about one of our favorites - Reality Bites! We get into: our favorite songs from the film, both on and off the official soundtrack; our shared appreciation for the wit of Janeane Garofalo; the social issues facing recent college grads during the mid-90s and how frighteningly little society seemed to care; some of the verbiage in the movie that we don't care for; Juliana's experience seeing Squeeze in concert; how we wish Vickie was real because we really want to hang out with her; and Ethan Hawke's original song - and his other singing credits we discovered along the way!
Grab a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for your face, and perhaps a nutrient-rich Big Gulp, and join us in this week's stroll down memory lane.
And maybe afterward, watch some Melrose Place. It's a really good show.
