Hello, Sneakers! This week the exciting three of the same numbers in a row episode! (We won’t see another one like it for 111 more episodes.) Ian honours this episode’s number with a discussion of the classic TV show Room 222. Don’t care? Don’t worry. Dave hasn’t seen it either. Speaking of 222, Ian doesn’t like even numbers; Dave has a lot to say about horse’s feet; Ian lives under howlin’ dogs; Ian and Dave both enjoy burgers – I think we all know that; Ian has found a contender to stand up against Donald Trump – and, no, it’s not Dave; we establish Ian is a homophobe – Dave is a condescending hetero; Ian could have gone to prison as a seven year-old; they take the Bible challenge; Ian gets sucker punched by Zack Snyder; Dave sticks up for the little films; Ian is tired of movies and only wants TV series; and speaking of films, Ian and Dave close out the show with a discussion of the movies Teen Lust, The House of the Devil and some of the best coming of age movies.
Do you have a favourite coming of age movie? We’re especially interested in the films that fall outside of the cliché of the trophy girlfriend. Dave would also prefer films that don’t require characters to conform to the cultural mainstream to appeal to the ladies (à la the disappointing The 40 Year-Old Virgin) (we know this is a minority opinion).
Thanks for listening.
Ian’s heartthrob:
Once again, if you can find it, Dave recommends the above average coming of age, teenage sex shenanigans film Teen Lust:
If you enjoy smart horror films, Dave also recommends The House of the Devil:
And the three coming of age films mentioned by Ian and Dave (Also, movie trailers for the 80’s sucked!):
Gregory’s Girl
The Sure Thing
Real Genus (directed by Martha Coolidge, which could explain the strong female character, but not why she is never mentioned in the trailer)
