About this episode
Will and Don debate their opposing views on Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of 'The Great Gatsby'.
For their 231st episode, two decadent film critics, two old sport dads, and partying school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, finally have, for what seems like the first time in a while, found a movie they truly feel opposite on to a nearly hate vs. love level, and it might not be from a place you typically expect. The loaded argument in question surrounds Baz Luhrmann's sparkly and loud blockbuster adaptation of "The Great Gatsby." Between these two guys, who've read this book as students and now teachers, find out who takes what side. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.
