Old School (2003) is a cultural milestone | Will Ferrell | Vince Vaughan | Luke Wilson | Todd Phillips

This week we talk Old School. A movie that perfectly encapsulates the changing attitudes in comedy and America at the turn of the millenium. 

One of the birth of the frat-pack movies, this film shows us the gen-x midlife crisis and is really a fantasy film for that demographic. 

It was hugely influential. We were both college studends at the time this movie came out and we saw it's influence and reach first hand. Everyone loved it. It was monumental. 

but what does it say? It's a fantasy in that there are almost no consequences of note for the main characters and any one opposed to them is punished severely. Haha, funny, until people think that's how life should be!

This movie was the beginning of an era of Bro-Comedy and the careers of all of it's leads. 

But what does it actually say about society? Listen on to see what we think.
