About this episode

In this episode, Nathan and Elliot discuss the classic film The Graduate and its cultural significance.

SIMON! GARFUNKEL! SHUT UP ALREADY! Sorry about that, folks, I’m trying to write the description for today’s new episode, but the incessant crooning of everyone’s ninth favorite musical duo haunts my every waking moment and turns my life into a living hell ever since I watched The Graduate, a 1967 romantic comedy directed by Mike Nichols. You may not have seen this classic tale of sordid twists and youthful ennui with its, uh, enthusiastic score provided by the men whose voices now infect my brain like a malignant tumor, but you’re almost certainly familiar with its imagery, which has seeped into the very bedrock of popular culture. Will Nathan and Elliot affirm the film’s legendary status with a heartfelt wedding, or will the movie slowly succumb to apathy in the back of a bus to nowhere? Let me seduce you into playing the episode to find out!
