B
17:27Benjamin RileyGUEST
And for, I mean, it's, it's, we take the, the whole range and spectrum of human experience.
B
17:32Benjamin RileyGUEST
And so, so I, I am very sympathetic both to the families and to the students that, you know, everybody knows and could even be true for either of you for all I know that like schooling's hard and it's not always fun and it can be, it's, it's like, it's, you know, there's a lot of John Hughes movies that explore this in some depth, right? June, Chicago, right? Yeah.
J
17:53JuneHOST
Oh, yeah.
J
17:55JuneHOST
So it seems like the alpha school sort of revels in that struggle, though, like the struggle is sort of the point.

R
71:24Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
apparently they threw away that stuff and just used whatever they had left.
R
71:27Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, this movie was written and produced by John Hughes.
R
71:29Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
who also made Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, which is about another odd couple, Candy and Steve Martin, who go through a lot of adventures.
R
71:35Roger EbertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's almost as if he put all of his good stuff in that movie and then took all of the outtakes
M
73:53MikeHOST
I will say this is barely a movie.
M
73:56MikeHOST
There is almost no story to this movie at all.
M
73:59MikeHOST
This movie is really just like John Hughes going like, hey, isn't camping

M
15:32Mark ClarkHOST
And so no joke, I went back to high school for an entire summer, right? For three months in the summer, I went back to high school.
M
15:42Mark ClarkHOST
So there I was like, you know, 23 years old, genius university student.

It bites off that, and I think that's suitable.
