Wax up your board and grab your copy of Marcus Skinner's Straight Jacket. This week, we're cruising up the PCH to Orange County. A beloved film in his cabinet, Stephen turns a critical eye to this comedy to determine whether this quotable flick holds up to academic rigor or is a throwaway flash in the pan of early-aughts cinema. Discussions of camera movements, nepo babies, and misuse of literary allusion abound. Join us this week for the 2002 film Orange County.
