About this episode
The episode discusses the classic romance movie 'Say Anything' and its unexpected themes.
Say Anything is a classic romance movie with the famous boombox scene. But we never knew anything else about the movie. We thought it could end up being another one of those poorly aged John Hughes movies, but Cameron Crowe actually pulled off something significantly less problematic. In fact there's a massive subplot about the protagonist's dad ripping off old people? How many kisses does it deserve tho?
