97 - Adventureland

If ADVENTURELAND is to be believed, there was a point in Greg Mottola’s life where he was hooking up with two gorgeous girls despite looking and acting like a standard Jesse Eisenberg character. Welcome to ADVENTURELAND! A fantasy where all it takes to impress your peers is a bag of tiny joints! A film where Deadpool loses Kirsten Stewart to Mark Zuckerberg! A thinly veiled autobiography fully driven by First World Problems! Listen to Alex and Julio as they break down why this sort of thing was a lot better when someone like Cameron Crowe did it.
