The Contrarians150 - Can't Hardly Wait

Our fifteenth Gray Area Episode also happens to be our 150th episode - which is kind of a big deal. So we needed to tackle an appropriately epic movie for the latest Contrarians battle. Doesn’t get any more epic than CAN’T HARDLY WAIT, a bonafide Ethan Embry vehicle, and you know how we feel about Ethan Embry on this show. Alex will be attacking, Julio will be defending, and they’ll both discuss what’s really going on in this classic teen comedy! Did America peak in 1998?
