Episode 65: The Dilemma

the dilemma.jpg

This week we’re back in the Tatumverse, discussing a movie that was not worth the collective $8 we paid to rent it. In this episode we we try to pin down our patron Office characters, talk color theory with a fascinating tangent about brown, and are confused by the popularity of Vince Vaughn (how did he end up a romantic lead??).

In this episode, we spend a lot of time diving into the chronological cannon of Star Wars (ooh buddy), bring back the term “Longbottomed,” and learn that the song I Wanna Be (500 Miles) has very different connotations for each of us.

We’re wrapping up Marathon May by inviting our friend who suggested year’s theme of time travel romances, Lara! She introduces us to Somewhere in Time, an ethereal movie that seems to have been filmed through an Instagram filter. In this episode Katie calls in from a nursing home, express our disappointment with this film’s ending, and pitch a new gender-swapped 80s movie someone should definitely be making.
