He's back! The boy king of acting, Michael Rowland (we're all very proud of Michael, send him flowers) returns to New York!  This episode is a single A double S Cl(ass)ic!  The guys spend a few minutes talking about what they plan to do for you, new music, new cameras, new options- but we're not there yet.  Insecurities come to a full head on this one- this is peak vulnerability for peaking boys.  Shopping for clothes at a Banana Republic? What're you, a serf?  In an unprecedented moment of recognizing "success," the boys realize they have airline opinions.  This is the most celebrity we've ever had.  That's right, we're talking about Plane (and 80 For Brady, it's the movie review corner).  It all comes down to this, after years, the boys correctly pinpoint their Entourage correlation, and boy, it's depressing.  The Imperioli Problem.

Today’s episode is a watch through of Man From Uncle, from 2015.

In case you're new to this title, this is a Guy Ritchie spy movie based off of a 1960s TV show by the same name.

It’s super charming, with those classic witty ~ Sean Connery ~ James Bond ~ spy vibes. And the costuming is gooorgeous! Not to mention the characters themselves are quite fashion conscious, and look flawless through the film.

This is a long time favorite of both Elma and Alana, and we hope you love it!

TLDR: Style and Bond from a Feminist point of view. Hope you enjoy!
