Episode 27 - Real Genius

<p>We wrap up Back To School month with 1986's <em>Real Genius</em>. It's a PG <em>Animal House</em> meets <em>War Games</em> in this comedy about college students building a weapon for their professor only to realize the horror of what they're actually doing. Lightly satirical, with Val Kilmer as a Looney Tunes protagonist up against a William Atherton at his most arrogant. This movie was a really fun surprise for Mary, while confirming for Dennis that this is a better film than he remembered.</p>
