Episode sixty-two will cause you to reflect on all of your most degenerate moments as a young adult. 1987's Withnail and I is set in 1969, mostly taking place on an English country side focusing in on two substance-abusing unemployed London actors in their early twenties trying to survive the rain, lack of survival skills, their lack of preparation, and Withnail's uncle Monte who's cottage they're staying at on holiday. On the surface this doesn't sound like a relatable story but after viewing Withnail and I's lifestyle throughout the film, it conjures up the days when all you survived on was cigarettes, booze, dreams, and rebellion. But with that age and lifestyle comes poverty, anxiety, paranoia, and holes in your boots.
