Returning The Andy Plex alumnus Ryan Grassmeyer is back to discuss "Home for the Holidays" (1995). Why does this film endure at 30? Why is it a Thanksgiving and holiday masterpiece? It marks Jodie Foster's sophomore directorial outing. After winning 2 acting oscars and now entering her 30s, Jodie looks to take on the rediscovering of ourselves into adulthood through the lens of returning home to our families at 30. Holy Hunter loses her job in Chicago and returns home to Baltimore for Thanksgiving. Her journey is personal yet one we all go through. At 100 mins, this film is lean and jam packed with family drama, dysfunction, laughs, and tear jerks. Thanksgiving doesn't have enough films about it, and this one may just take the cake...ah...Turkey.

Returning for a threepeat is film historian, filmmaker, and actor Kryzstofer that 70s Guy. Kryzstofer and Andy dive deep into the troubled waters of "Lifeboat" (1944) on its 81st anniversary. Why is this movie hauntingly on the money now in 2025? How has this film managed to resonate and endure for 8 decades? Why is Hitch a master? What are the lessons he believes we must heed or die as a society, a civilization, and a species? Grab your oars and your floatation devices - this one is gonna get wet folks!!
