The first movie that none of us liked! Don't worry, we still had fun talking about this Billy Bob Thornton penned, Cate Blanchett vehicle from 2000. How did this supernatural suspense movie with a cast including Keanu Reeves, Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes, Giovanni Ribisi, and JK Simmons turn out to be so boring?

John, Hallie, and Sarah discuss 1991's Career Opportunities, starring Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly. They reimagine the movie for a 2023 audience, but they would never change the film's Target store setting.

Join hosts Hallie, Sarah, and John as they re-imagine forgotten movies of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s for a modern audience. In each episode, Sarah tells the story of a film lost to time (or VHS). Then Hallie, Sarah, and John chat about what the film would look like if it was remade in 2023--the cast, the soundtrack, the character that would have the biggest TikTok following...but actually they're just guessing on that last one because they're old enough to remember Myspace.
