"Oreos, Limp Bizkit references, and questionable PG-13 ‘romance’—yes, it’s very 2002."

Episode Description

In this mini-episode, Landen and Truman break down the small but unforgettable details of Life or Something Like It. From Limp Bizkit jokes to a PG-13 sex scene scored by Jewel, they explore the film’s awkward attempt to balance romance, existentialism, and Angelina Jolie’s frosted hair tips. Plus, they play the trailer guessing game and reflect on whether high school is anyone’s authentic self.

Film Synopsis

A street prophet declares that TV reporter Lainey Kerrigan (Angelina Jolie) has seven days to live, sending her on a journey of self-discovery, bad music montages, and romantic entanglements with her cameraman, Pete (Edward Burns). Together, they learn that love and life are a lot like a Jewel song—confusing, awkward, and full of bad metaphors.
