  • Election (1999)
    2024/10/23

    The 90s were a golden era for high school movies, defying the standard set by John Hughes a decade prior. But few (if any) high school-set films capture the bizarre nature of student government better than Election, which skillfully weaves in the story of a civics teacher who diverts from his typical routine and lets his personal life interfere with the natural course of the student body. Broderick is back. Witherspoon gets legend status. And welcome to the acting world, Chris Klein, who was plucked from a Nebraska high school to star in his first movie.

  • Donnie Darko (2001)
    2024/10/16

    It's the breakout role for Jake Gyllenhaal. It reminded us why Smurfette was created and by whom. It introduced the world to Sparkle Motion. When Donnie Darko was released in 2001, few could have anticipated its rapid rise to cult classic status, but this cerebral film spawned a theatrical adaptation, an unofficial sequel, and there are plans for an alleged official sequel. But perhaps Dan and Jon have some other ideas.

  • C.C. and Company (1970)
    2024/10/09

    When we set out to cover a movie for every letter of the alphabet, we had plenty of great options for C. However, we chose C.C. and Company instead. This film is a bizarre combination of football star Joe Namath, Ann-Margret, and Motocross. Not a single transfer of the film looks good, there are no fewer than 3 versions of the film on streaming services, but it's still highly enjoyable and best watched with friends.
