Almost Famous vs Empire Records

 

The podcast for this week's theme is movies about fake musicians that are not about the musicians. First we delve into the Cameron Crow semi autobiographical film about a fifteen year old working for Rolling Stone magazine in Almost Famous. We contrast it with a bunch of teenagers navigating life and drama in Empire Records.

Big Trouble vs X-Men Last Stand

Stories of cops, criminals, kids, and others intersect in the comedic movie:  Big Trouble.  Mutants are given the choice of taking a pill and losing their powers, or fighting humans (I guess).  Also, there's a mutant who becomes a more dangerous mutant whilst being entangle in a love triangle (I guess) in X-Men The Last Stand.  Ben Foster(?) gets the Box Office treatment this episode.

How High vs. Stealing Harvard

Method Man and Red Man smoke a lot of weed and shake up Harvard in How High.  Jason Lee and Tom Green commit multiple crimes and escape prison in Stealing Harvard.  Only one Ivy League graduate will come out victorious.
