S3E37: THE FACULTY (PATRONS)

Season 3, Ep. 37

Ana and Dan try to relax in the teachers' lounge, but strange things are afoot at Harrington High School, and it's not just that the star football player decided he'd rather work for those gentlemen's Cs! A time capsule of 90s fashion, music, movie trends, and heartthrobs, this Robert Rodrigez/Kevin Williamson joint stands up to the test of time and then some. (Aside from some unfortunate sexual harassment vibes.) Have you wanted to re-watch "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" lately? There is IR in this movie.

    Ana and Dan must work harder. If you haven't read this short novel or it's been awhile, this is your sign to spend an afternoon with Orwell's lively parable. The writing is crisp, even if fans have scrambled what Orwell actually meant.There is a bit of IR. Some critiques of capitalism, too.

  • THE RUNNING MAN (2025)

    56:25||Season 6
    A movie can always be improved by Glen Powell appearing nude, but can it be saved? This is the hypothetical that Edgar Wright's remake of The Running Man attempts to answer.This movie has Arnoldbucks, futurist telenovelas, a podcast that might save the world (if not America), a delusional ending (or is it?), hot dogs (not Glen Powell's!) and, yes, some IR.
  • PLURIBUS

    01:32:26||Season 6
    Ana and Dan will skip the milk, thanks.Is Pluribus about AI? Is it about the white savior complex, or loneliness in post-capitalist society? The pandemic? Ethical altruism? Maybe... art? It's gorgeous and inscrutable, much like your long-absent hosts.Glad to be back.(This was supposed to come out before the streak of Running Man episodes we did, lol.)
