Balcony Classic - The Cider House Rules (1999)

Hey there! It's me, Sean, from the future, bringing you an episode from the past! We were supposed to record an episode about the best picture winning film, the French Connection, but everything feels bad right now and talking about one of the worst cops of all time didn't sound like it was going to make us feel any better about anything so here's an old episode on the movie the Cider House Rules. We don't have a patreon but if you wanted to throw a couple bucks to the Eastern Massachusetts Abortion Fund at https://emafund.org/ that seems like a good thing you could do. 

Gather round, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England, you fakers of medical degress, you cuckolds of vets... it's the Cider House Rules today in the Balcony. What business are you in? Cause we're in the watching movies and then talking about the movies biz and boy howdy have we got a movie that we watched and want to talk about. Nominated for more Academy Awards than anybody could justify 20 years later, we tackle all the hardest hitting questions one could have from watching this film such as who is Sean's best friend? Why it's your friendly neighborhood apple picker. Too bad Tobey Maguire didn't have his organic web shooters yet cause that would have made picking apples so much more efficient, we could have avoided an entire incest subplot. The Cider House Rules stars Tobey Maguire, Charlize Theron, Michael Caine, Roman Roy, Delroy Lindo, a bucket of apples and mostly Paul Rudd.
