What do these two movies have in common? Where are they different? Join us for a drink and discussion about DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) and TRAINING DAY (2001).

In honor of the expensive whiskey that Denzel's character drinks in a scene in Training Day, Jerome enjoys some Johnny Walker Blue. Chris went with a nice stout from New Holland Brewing called THE POET as a hat tip to DPS.

In the first part of the podcast, the hosts engage in a thorough analysis of the film "Training Day." They begin by providing background information on the movie's director, Antoine Fuqua, and its main actors, Denzel Washington, and Ethan Hawke. The hosts delve into the gritty and intense atmosphere of the story, set in the morally ambiguous world of law enforcement. They discuss the characters of Alonzo Harris and Jake Hoyt, highlighting the complex dynamic between the seasoned, corrupt detective and the idealistic rookie cop. The hosts examine the film's exploration of themes such as power, corruption, and loyalty, as well as its depiction of the dark underbelly of the Los Angeles Police Department. They praise Denzel Washington's exceptional performance, which earned him an Academy Award, and commend the film for its captivating storytelling and gripping action sequences...In spite of the studio snubbing Ethan Hawke AS THE LEAD!

In the second part of this episode, they introduce the film "Dead Poets Society" and set the stage by describing the setting of Welton Academy, a prestigious college preparatory school. They highlight the clash between traditional values and the unconventional ideologies of John Keating, the English professor portrayed by Robin Williams. The hosts analyze the opening scene and discuss the school's motto and the expectations placed on the protagonist, Todd, who seeks acceptance within a group. They emphasize the significance of the discovery of the secret club, the Dead Poets Society, as a turning point in the story. The hosts provide insights into the characters of Todd, Neil, and Dalton, representing different facets of Todd's personality - as Todd (Ethan Hawke) IS THE LEAD of the film too!
