POPULARITY
This week on the program, the CNIC Detour takes us back to college to work through those awkward, zany growing pains of living on our own, finding our identity, and never going to class or bothering with our actual education. From the desperate offices of MTV Animation comes a surprisingly touching, superbly crafted, and well-aged exploration of college life from the mind of a 19-year old who won a contest. It's Undergrads, and it is way more insightful and hilarious than you would expect. Plus, some unfortunate discussion about our cancelled episode 91 and we share our own uncomfortable college experiences. Make sure to follow Pete William's Kickstarter campaign for the Undergrads movie for updates. And here is a great article by Ben Cohen on the show's enduring popularity in Canada years after it flopped on MTV. Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 6 "Roommates." Directed by Jerry Popowich. Written by Julie Rottenberg, Elisa Zuritsky, Josh A. Cagan & Andy Rheingold. Original Canadian airdate September 23, 2001.

It’s like Shakespeare! Josh A. Cagan joins us this week as we see all of our heroes on their worst behavior in episode 1.12, “Caroline and the Married Man”! Heat up your lucky chicken and kick back with us as we discuss differentiating between tall bespectacled men in shapeless jackets, the byzantine process of commissioning murals, which member of the gang should lose key privileges, and whether men should be allowed to write at all. Do you tell a football what time the game is? C’mon!
DUFFs unite!Brenna and Joe are diving back into YA written by teenagers and it's another rocky property as we struggle with Kody Keplinger's 2011 book, The DUFF, as well as its 2015 film adaptation by feature novices Ari Sandel (director) and Josh A. Cagan (screenwriter).Part of the problem? That title! Despite the book's best attempts to reduce the stigma of the term, Brenna can't overcome the cruelty and judgment of the moniker. While the book at least attempts to explore challenging topics (shame is handled well; alcoholism less so), at least it's more interesting than the film. Joe and Brenna can't help but wonder if Cagan simply watched other (better) YA films and read the back of the book before sitting down to write the screenplay, because the film is uninspired! Thankfully we have Mae Whitman and Robbie Amell, who may just have the best chemistry of ANY couple we've seen thus far. That's right, we said what we said!Wanna connect with the show?
