So glad that you guys are still going strong on this project! Now going back to pick up where I left off after the Raging Bull episode... Looking forward to the next couple hundred installments before I'm truly caught up
Thanks to both of you for these insightful conversations in all these films!

I appreciate it more now for the on-screen contrast with the older generation of actors (digression: Danny Glover & Danny deVito do this for the younger actors in the newest Jumani movie. DeVito's line "getting old is a gift" lands better as a contrast to the college-age characters' issues)

I've been working my way through your episodes from the beginning, but had to jump forward for this one - thanks for doing Cocoon!
Back whenever I first saw this, I felt the Steve Guttenberg romance really took away from the storylines of the older characters.

Non-fiction... That influenced worldview... Those two filters combined rule out a lot of science titles (The Emperor's New Mind) and biographies...
Top 5, in no particular order:

A few years back a Polish trucker published a lengthy thread which explained in detail just some of the many, many problems with the Tesla semi design:
