Description

This week Paul & Amy are re-releasing their episode on the Alexander Payne film, Election. They praise director Alexander Payne’s brilliant eye for humanist detail, discuss how Matthew Broderick channels his Ferris Bueller image to subversive ends, and posit that America has only become more like high school since the movie’s release. Plus: How Election almost derailed Reese Witherspoon’s career. They'll be back with an all new episode next week about Heathers!
