Philosophy In Film - 104 - Glory Daze

Episode 104: Glory Daze This week on Philosophy in Film, the gang cracks open a time capsule with Glory Daze, the scrappy 1995 Gen-X comedy filled with graduation panic, beer-soaked nostalgia, and an early Ben Affleck appearance before the Hollywood spotlight hit. Set over one chaotic night before graduation, the film follows a group of college friends desperately clinging to youth before adulthood finally calls their bluff. Craig stumbles into Producer's Notes (13:29), while Alain pulls an all-nighter for the Beauclair Synopsis (26:18), tracing the film's blend of drunken nostalgia and quarter-life existentialism. In Philosopher's Corner (45:13), Chris settles into the film's strange limbo between youth and adulthood, unpacking the quiet panic that comes with realizing freedom, responsibility, and identity rarely arrive at the same time. The gang gathers at the Round Table (53:50) to kick around one last semester of chaos before Reviews (1:37:46) and Mailbag (1:55:33) crack open a final beer and stumble across the graduation stage into the night. As always, we explore the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the film, because sooner or later, everybody has to leave campus. 🍻 Featured Beer 🍻 - Mixtape Hazy IPA by Polyrhythm Brewing (Edmonton, Alberta)
