Mmm. Denzel. He’s not shirtless in this one but still fine. Can a movie about debate be compelling? It’s one of Justin’s favorite movies of all time so it looks like it. And along the way there’s trips up Interstate 29 looking for an alternate reality, The Color Purple and literacy, juke joints, Jussie Smolett, a teacher on top of a desk quoting literature again, a white professor teaching African-American Lit, the backroom of Daddy’s, being an alternate, roaming farm animals, dirty dancing, high schoolers in college, union busting, Pam Bondi again, booking a school bus vs driving, Sue Sylvester, Texas ICE agents, [gasp] communism in New York City, the stabbin’ cabin and a marching band, MAGA roadblocks, a sex worker on a school trip, “they didn’t really film at Harvard,” using true stories to win a debate, and why debates shouldn’t be the climax of a movie.
Exit ticket: Ronnie and Justin of a debate over what else? The best Real Housewives franchise of all time. It ended their friendship.
