Chris and Sridhar play a game of Overrated/Underrated/Properly Rated with the Cleveland Orchestra, seats behind the orchestra in a concert hall, Mahler's 5th Symphony, and standing ovations. Then, for another edition of ITL At the Movies, they discuss Damien Chazelle's 2014 film "Whiplash," which prompts a conversation about abusive teachers and "old school" teaching methods.

(Disclaimer--in the spirit of "Whiplash," this episode is uncensored.)
