*The Warlock opens the door to his lair. He’s wearing a Shady Records t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and gargoyle shades. He’s holding a Mega Pint of Pepsi*
W: Welcome to my lair….welcome I don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.
*Warlock makes the ground rumble before walking inside*
W: Seeing Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in The Last Duel brought back some memories of some of the movies I’ve seen them in together. Good Will Hunting and Dogma should be required viewing by mostly everyone. There was one I’ve always wanted to see but never could for various reasons…until now. Tonight’s movie is the 1992 drama SCHOOL TIES. What’s this one about Brendan Frasier is a star high school quarterback who’s accepted by an elite prep school. There’s only one problem, this is set in the 1950’s and Brendan’s character is Jewish. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon figure it out and plan to make Brendan’s life a living hell.
*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*
W: Affleck and Damon weren’t household names yet and Brendan hadn’t reached his peak in the mid to late 90’s so this could be special. Chris O’Donnell, Cole Hauser, Amy Locane and Kevin Tighe are in this one so the acting should be good at least. Whether or not the story can hold up is what we’re about to find out. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for SCHOOL TIES.
