We're finally getting back into the swing of things (haha) here on the pod  and talking one of the most quotable films of the 90s, Swingers! After three years it seems baffling to me that I haven't talked about this film yet. I know you know someone who had this movie poster on their wall, and yet it's one I don't hear talked about too much. 

Written by Jon Favreau and starring most of his emerging actor friends, this film is part time capsule and part subculture view. We follow a super baby faced Vince Vaughn with his fast talking, story telling that he becomes known for years later and hear about  movie auditions, lingering breakups, and constant cinema references. Me and Charles had a blast giving our favorite scenes, dramatic interpretations, and decide whether or not we're money.

Off topic rants include: Jurassic Park, Survivor,  MTV's The Challenge 

at 1:10:00 we talk a little about Season 2 Ep 3 of Yellowjackets (spoilers)

The Aquaboys keep venturing further in the dark and slightly confusing world of this unquestionably classic series.   Episode 3 pours on the noir as we watch a scrappy reporter/detective try to uncover the true identify of our hero.   This episode still leaves the Aquaboys with plenty more questions than answers - - What are his powers exactly?  How does one hand-out mob justice?  Is it safe to smoke at age 8?

The Flash is an American television series developed by the writing team of Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo that aired on CBS from September 20, 1990 to May 18, 1991. It is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. The Flash starred John Wesley Shipp as Allen, along with Amanda Pays, and Alex Desert.

The Aquaboys are in love with The Flash.  Wanna know how you can tell?  Episode 2 of this totally wronged series is 30 minutes shorter than the premier, yet we still manage to go over 2 hours (again) consuming every last second of greatness.   We wander here and there -- tackling topics around Flashes actual speed, how to ethically euthanize toads and if The Hulk can properly hang drywall.  Buckle up, buttercup.

The Aquaboy’s don’t care how fast ‘The Flash’ claims to be…we take our sweet time relishing every detail about this extraordinary show.  Sure there are a couple missteps here and there, but overall this might be the highest quality and most-wronged-by-the-network television show we’ve reviewed thus far.  Yes, we get it…the episode is long even by our standards, but its so worth it!   We heart The Flash, abandoned dams and all.
