In this mini-episode, we dive deep into Amy Heckerling's Loser (2000) starring Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari. Join us as we break down the quirky rom-com that's more awkward than aspirational, dissect Greg Kinnear's questionable character choices, and reminisce about the cringe-worthy slang that somehow didn’t make it past the early 2000s. Plus, Landon shares a Sundance story involving Mena Suvari that definitely happened. You won't want to miss our trailer predictions, pop-punk soundtrack rants, and why this film deserved a bit more Ghost World and a lot less American Pie stank. Are you ready for some cinematic nostalgia? Dust off your porkpie hats, folks!
