Is It for Reel

As we jump back into the school year, our podders analyze the ever present battle of brains v. braun in the collegiate crucible. That's right, we watched Revenge of The Nerds.  While some of us may have gotten stuffed in a locker before the discussion begins we must remember to persevere and never stop laughing (yes, even crazy donkey laughter).  Just maybe really think about the legal and moral implications of revenge. Seriously. Neeeeeeeeeeeerds!

Do you like bikes?  Ya but do you like like bikes?  Well then throw on your bowtie because we watched Pee Wee's Big Adventure.  Remember it's all about the friends you make along the way, don't judge a book by its cover: escaped prisoners and ghosts can be an excellent option for hitchhikers, and don't look at the camera during your cameo.  Now pour a little milk out from a dirty glass for Paul Ruebens.  Bikes!!!! 

Gravity, it comes for us all.  Wait that's death.  But what if it's both!  To figure that out, our Podders stuffed themselves in some climbing harnesses and watched Cliffhanger.  So visit your high elevation museums, remember team building is important even for criminals, and belay on.  Also, why learn all those crazy climbing moves when you can just pull up leap, pull up leap, and repeat till the summit.  Rescue Rangers, Go!!!!!!!!!

We here at the Pod have World Cup Fever (the Kiwi down under Women's variant) so we watched Bend It Like Beckham.  Now lace up your boots, sign your coach up for an emergency HR class, and start doing sit-ups because regionals are right around the corner.  And don't forget to score a goal; the scout from Santa Clara will be there!!!!!! (also double check your coach is attending that class, it's really important.)

Edmund Burke once said "Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it".  Well, history is boring so we watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.  So grab your crop top gym shirt, maybe a list of female historical figures, and stop looking at your step mom like that.  While we may never know if Bill and Ted formed a truly egalitarian rock based society or just a weird cult, their ethos sure is all encompassing and succinct.  Be excellent to each other and party on dudes!  

In honor of Father's Day, our podders reached back to 1983 and watched Mr. Mom.  So set your wooby on the funeral pyre, start growing that 'it's the apocalypse' beard, and remember Joan is gonna Joan so no sense trying to change her.  Now start stretching like it's company picnic time!!!

What does a magical Tibetan child, viking pirates, a dancing pepsi can, and Eddie Murphy have in common?  If you said nothing, you're ready to watch The Golden Child with us. So pack your pocket full of snacking leaves, practice your forbidden temple obstacle course strategy, and remember the shortest path between two points is a bunch of backflips!!!! Now spin the speaking pole and sing!!!!!

Big lights, big city, big hair!   Our podders wanted to learn about business, so they watched Working Girl.  So tease out your hair (it's the 80's y'all), fake it till you make it, and fellas take a step back the title is 'Working Girl' not 'Harrison Ford Bores Us with Mergers'.  Work it, girl!!!

We're back baby!!! Back in the ocean and ready to surf some pipe for REAL!!!! Our brave podders waxed down their boards and watched Blue Crush.  So all you surfer girls and guys throw on a bikini, train like the tournament is in a year or two, and maybe put on a full helmet (heads are smacking the coral like it's going out of style).  And just like Michelle Rodriguez says follow your dreams no matter how dangerous it is but also don't risk your life for a dream, man!  Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the....oops missed the wave.  

Reading the papers, you'd think this world is running out of lovers, but don't fret, we'll still have each other. NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW!! That's right we watched Mannequin.  So get fired from your jobs, forget that malls aren't really a thing anymore, and get ready for some costume changes.  Montage!!!!!  When in doubt just think WWMD:  What would Meshach do? He'd be an icon; that's what!
