The Baby-sitters Club Club

In the Year of Our Lord 2002, it was decreed throughout the land that every man, woman, and child of sound health and mind should — on a day of their choosing — go unto the theatre and bear witness with their own eyes to the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Now, 20 years after this beautiful display of international solidarity, the mandate has been long abandoned. But some few still remember. We remember.

Two films about some guys, some pitches, and a love affair with a nice lady and 11 or more sports boys who are based between 2 and 60 miles south of Cambridge. Other than that, they're actually quite different, so it's EXTREMELY important that you watch them in the correct order.

A movie about how fabulously nice it would be if somebody came and picked you up at work. Literally. This one was sadder than we expected, but Richard Gere looks great in those dress whites!

It's almost impossible to imagine a more perfect concept for a film than a completely feral Nicolas Cage yelling a lot and then falling in love with Cher.

This week, a movie that asks a question that's been on everybody's mind since the Elizabethan times: What if Shakespeare fell in love with Goop, from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop? The boys endeavor to answer this while keeping the conversation high-mindedly focused on the underdiscussed influence of Jacobean Revenge Tragedy on modern cinema.

This week, a film that is about so much more than dancing, but the dirty kind. To be clear, it's mostly about the dirty kind of dancing — that's really the main thrust of what the film's about — but also more. Like, did you know that the sequel to this movie was written by some guy from some other thing? Wow. Interesting stuff. Also, Jeff and Elmer are back. We missed those guys!
