Films Like The First Time

Nick had never watched the 1962 Gregory Peck film, To Kill A Mockingbird (calm down, he’s read the book). They discuss the the overlying themes of empathy and antiracism as well as a thorough discussion of what the heck a chifferobe is. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056592/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_in_0_q_To%2520Kill%2520A%2520Mockingbird https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/to_kill_a_mockingbird

Dave had never seen Rob Reiner’s 1987 fantasy comedy, The Princess Bride. The group discuss it’s similarities to both Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Dave also struggles to remember a name said more times than any name in a movie ever. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_the%2520princess%2520brid https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/princess_bride

Nick had never seen Danny Boyle’s 1996 buddy(?) heroin film, Trainspotting. The crew discuss the amazing cast, feces, and one very memorable baby. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_trainspotting https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/trainspotting

Nick had never seen a seemingly classic 1980’s movie in Heathers. The group discuss this strange revenge(?) film full of irredeemable characters. Did they find the movie to be Big Fun? Warning, like the film watched, this episode includes triggering topics including suicide and SA. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097493/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_in_0_q_heathers https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/heathers

Amanda and Dave had never seen Alexander Payne’s 2013 film, Nebraska.
