Inspired by the throwback teen romance of The Spectacular Now and the Summer of ’93 period comedy The To Do List, we begin the inaugural episode of our biweekly podcast with a discussion on how nostalgia enhances (or maybe distorts) our perceptions of a movie. In the second segment, Tasha Robinson’s two-star review of the majestic Patrick Swayze vehicle Road House has us wondering about the “guilty pleasure,” and whether movies we enjoy can also be called bad movies. We also play a game called “Double Vision,” where participants are given two very similar movies—in this case, Pretty In Pink and Some Kind Of Wonderful—and asked to tell which detail came from which movie. And finally, Tasha and Nathan Rabin have “30 Seconds To Sell” their movie recommendations.
