This week we discuss The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), a film based on the true story of a man struggling to be a parent while in a struggling marriage and struggling to earn a decent job. Did we mention the struggle? Topics addressed include homelessness, money, the grind, and ambition. Plus we relate the story of Chris' inability to relax.

Jello Shots For Everyone (The Blob, 1988)
The Blob is pink and moist, and that basically makes it romantic and Valentines-y, we decided. So slip into something uncomfortable, beckon to your partner sultrily, AND MELT THEIR FACE OFF.
