Summary
Our exit today has us scamming our way to pay for and get through college. This week, we are talking about a pair of films that vaguely look at the college experience. First, we are going to talk about Slackers, written by David H. Steinberg and directed by Dewey Nicks. Next, we will talk about Stealing Harvard, written by Martin Hynes and Peter Tolan and directed by Bruce McCulloch. Along the way, besides all the college talk, we touch on Jason Schwartzman, The Count of Monte Cristo, Tom Greene, The Odyssey, game shows, biopics, Jason Segal, Bloomington/Normal, Wes Anderson, and stay for the credits for a musical number!
