THE FOUR SEASONS (1981): REVIEWED!

WARNING: WE SPOIL THE WHOLE MOVIE! 

But besides that, it’s a chill episode. It warms up as it goes, maybe starts off more chill than usual lol but it definitely gets warmer as we get going. Much like the movie we review. And much like friendships in general. 

Now the question this week, really, is: are you really ready for the #ReviewOneThing era to begin in earnest? Well stay tuned then lol because we’re almost there. We’re still finding our groove, sure, finding our feet as it were. But we’re getting there. Week to week diving more and more deeply into the art we criticise and love in equal measure. 

This week is another movie week here on the progrum. The Four Seasons was written and directed by Alan Alda in 1981 and Tina Fey always meant for us to go back and discover it when she adapted it for her new series, right!? Right? And who among you are actually doing the work and doing your homework? That’s right, barely any of you! So of course we will do it for you. Of course we follow up the Cat Burns reviewing episode (super trendy singer) with this shit, right? Could we BE being any more triple-C AH, right now or what!?

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: When we really tried to talk about the amazingness of the one other time we had a double-homer draw episode and I still don’t think we conveyed it with the appropriate amount of awe. We were more aww shucks and we should have been more shock and awe, you know!?
