Episode 01 - Reality Bites: It's about REALITY BITES. 

This episode we chat the seminal 1994 hit Reality Bites; directed by Ben Stiller, starring Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn, Jeneane Garafulo, and Ben Stiller. The soundtrack on RCA might be the longest lasting legacy of this film and we dive into each song individually, because they are all just that good. From The Knack (and a few details about the real life Sharona) to Lisa Loeb and her record shattering song "Stay"; to the incomparable Juliana Hatfield and a few details on her virginity (and how much she didn't care about it) care of Sassy Magazine- we get into it all, while also bitching about what a dick Troy is and how Lelayna probably should have looked over a contract before handing over all her raw footage.
