207 - Rushmore

Think, Pair, Swear

Anticipatory Set: Justin shares some information on students overspreading themselves with extracurricular activities. How much is too much? Ronnie complains a lot and regrets that his school didn’t have a beekeeping or calligraphy club. Does one need a sponsor for a beekeeping club?

Getting Schooled: Max Fisher has way too many extracurriculars with beekeeping among them. The teachers grooming students trope is reversed in this movie and poor Miss Cross. All the fish in the world can’t help her solve this one. Justin has never seen a Wes Anderson movie before, and Ronnie is unsurprised. Never has a school play been so bonkers. Never has a student taken to haircutting so quickly. And never has a soundtrack’s needle drops been so well placed.

Exit Ticket: What happens when a student has a crush on your significant other? Well you get a middle school girl saying truly appalling things to her teacher. Both hosts are shocked and both agreed that the little girl would regret all of her life decisions with their plans for her.
