They’re gonna keep calling us Cutters. To them, it’s like a dirty word. To me, it’s just something else I never got a chance to be.

— Mike, Breaking Away

FIRST TIME VIEWERS: ANDREW, BETHANY, BROCK, JOE

Ey, this episode is...how you say?... molto bene! Alisa and Cheryl are as excited as a bicycle racer about to run with the Cinzano team, to share this long-time favorite movie with the rest of the crew! What do you get when you put Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, and Jackie Earle Haley together for some of their earliest film work? What happens when a young, bicycle-obsessed Indiana man pretends he's Italian? How does the girl he's wooing react when he comes clean? Even more importantly, how do we react when Brock comes clean with us?

Grab some linguini or fettuccine, protect your special french fries, and get your wheels spinning for all the fun as we tell you what we thought of Breaking Away! Go, you Cutters, go!
