<div>We continue Comedy Month with 1987's PRETTY SMART, the debut of director Dimitri Logothetis (SLAUGHTERHOUSE ROCK, JIU JITSU) and actor Patricia Arquette (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS, BOYHOOD)!  But is this a comedy, or is it a drama?  Or was it intended to be a musical? Is the penis a friend or foe? Which VCR speed is best when secretly recording the students of a prestigious girl's school? We attempt to answer those questions as well as whether it's possible to drive from Greece to Paris in a single afternoon!  <br>
<br>
Also, an in-depth report on New World's financial struggles, and Ryan tries out a new phrase he hopes will catch on!  </div>
