Pleasantville: or MAMA (Make America Monochromatic Again) (with Ryan)
Well we lost a host for this episode so we've reached our inevitable form, two cishet white men talking about movies. It was almost three but there was a last minute scheduling issue. To talk about the movie, Barney Fife sends Peter Parker and Elle Woods to live in some black and white family sitcom. But as the 90s 'tudes go back in time, things get a little strange.

Our first movie that's based on a true story. Is our recap concise and easy to follow? Of course not. But for once, that isn't really our fault. Real life is messy and so is this movie.

Operator: or a Hitchcockian JOI (with Jerrett)
This is one of the reasons you don't bring your personal life into work. Also why therapy is very important. Kyle describes this movie as off-brand Her (2013) despite having never seen Her. Sophia is convinced these characters don't matter. Jerrett is also here. Dangerous drinking game for the episode: take a drink every time we mention that Gregg's girlfriend is a lesbian.

You've heard of the greatest story ever told presumably. But this one is even better. Its even a חנוכה story. A truly wild time that far exceeds what anyone's expectations should be.

We're taking a trip across the pond for this week's film. What happens when a murder suspect will only talk to a television detective? You unfortunately have to bring in the washed up actor.
