In solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike (the latter of which Paul and Corey are both members), Paul and Corey have decided to change things up:

For the duration of the strike, they will: 1) cover only films about labor unions/strikes/solidarity/etc.; 2) not cover any new releases (that includes Corey’s Pass or Plays); and 3) not recommend any streaming services for where you can find these films.

Following Corey’s choice, Harlan County, USA (1976), Paul decided for a fun one. 9 to 5 (1980). Starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton, and featuring the Oscar-nominated title song, the film was a colossal success.  There is a lot to discuss - from the stars' careers to Second-Wave Feminism to the War on Drugs. Enjoy!
