'How Do You Like Dem Apples?!' Sally and Dave Revisit 'Good Will Hunting'

The film feels a bit different through the lens of middle-age rather than adolescence

A character who seems so cool when he’s 7 years older than you looks so scared and broken when he’s 20 years younger.

I know podcasts are the new thing here, but -- any chance you could also provide a transcript for those of us middle-aged-over-70-year-olds who prefer to read than listen?

I appreciate your encouragement. Is there anything you'd like to hear us talk about in future podcasts? Or that we should write about more?

What you might find interesting is that I read through the transcript and then at about 20 minutes, I decided to listen to the rest. I enjoyed hearing your voices in that last section.

I have just "met" you and I am impressed but it is too soon for me to say what I would like you to write more about. Thanks for asking.

We are SO not middle-aged! Jeesh 😅 "Middle-age" is a bizarre euphemism for one's late 50s and 60s.
