Follow Me, Boys! (1966) & Mr. Holland's Opus (1995) - The sheephank redemption (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Brian and Dan kick off a new theme month: "Train Month," but the verb this time. Each week, we'll look at movies about teachers and other improvement figures and regimens. To kick the month off, Dan and Brian discuss two films that were formative examples of movie teachers for Brian: Fred MacMurray as a Scoutmaster in Follow Me, Boys! and Richard Dreyfuss as a band teacher in Mr. Holland's Opus.

Read excerpt
Dan and Brian bring to life the corpse of the much-mocked Weekend at Bernie's and find it more palatable than they expected. Join as they discuss "they don't make 'em like they used to" writing and practical effects, the sneaky (and possibly unintentional) satire of '80s excess and hedonism, unspeakable acts to unalive bodies, the deliriously wacky sequel, and Dan's proposed metaphor for the corpse.

Join as they discuss collecting the Ultron of media awards, the deathly fascinations of the Frosty franchise, the spiritual landscape of the Rankin/Bass universe, an abundance of redheads, the insanity of Rudolph's second movie, and the grand unhinged culminating carnival adventu
