We're headed back to 2007 to look at the romance of the indie sensation Juno, starring Elliot Page as a pregnant teenager, Michael Cera as the awkward boyfriend, and Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner as would-be adoptive parents.

Join in as we discuss the careers of director Jason Reitman and writer Diablo Cody, the film's iconic soundtrack, and a couple weirdly un-streamable movies.

Plus: What's the deal with Smartless Mobile? Was "everyone" aware of Ricki and the Flash? Is A Minecraft Movie quietly good (or at least not bad)? And will we find a way to talk about The Odyssey every week between now and July?

Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Next week: You've Got Mail (1998)
