85: American Beauty

This week we're talking about American Beauty and, in a word, YIPES. Kat and Jocelyn delve into a movie that is unwatchable now to ask an important: WHY WAS THIS WATCHABLE THEN?! We discuss Annette Bening's bad hair, how this film veers from smug pseudo-mysticism to zany plots stolen straight from a 70s sitcom, and why Alan Ball really needed to do a second pass on that garbage bag scene.
