Episode Three: When Harry Met Sally
For the first rom-com in our tour, Mike and Gary selected 1989’s When Harry Met Sally. The Rob Reiner-directed classic features everything you could want in a movie: a road trip, a diner, a football game, a climactic New Year’s Eve party, and talking. So much talking. Will they have what she’s having, or take it out to the curb like an underappreciated wagon-wheel coffee table?

Episode Two: Field of Dreams
The boys are staying in the ‘80s, screening the 1989 baseball nostalgia classic Field of Dreams. They’re all huge baseball fans, but it’s Paul’s first viewing. Is it a home run? A solid liner up the middle? A weak pop-up to a back-up middle infielder to end a rally in the heat of a pennant race? Join us as we work through an Iowa cornfield and maybe some Phillies-related trauma.

Episode One: Top Gun
For his first assignment, Paul watches the 1986 hit Top Gun. The boys discuss the iconic Tom Cruise action movie, marvel at Anthony Edwards’ mustache, and pick their own flying ace call signs. Will Top Gun take Paul’s breath away, or will he find his ego is writing checks his body can’t cash?
