Bad Schools is this weeks theme. "Blackboard Jungle" (1955) is the story about a first year teacher in an inner city, all boys school (1:48). The guys both liked it a lot and thought it held up well after 66 years. In "Detachment" (2011), the teacher is a long term substitute and he encounters many of the same problems we saw in Blackboard Jungle (38:36). Matt thought it may have had too many side stories, which caused it to drag a little the second half, but he and Adam both think it deserves a look. As a former teacher, Adam is all in when it comes to movies about teachers.

In honor of Halloween, horror is our theme with "The Haunting" (1963) and "Suspiria" (1977).
