Some films wear their heart on their sleeve, and Sing Sing is no exception. In this episode, Austin delves into what makes this powerful new release stand out, exploring the real-life events that shaped both the story and the people behind the production. Then, it’s a trip back to 1979 for a completely different kind of movie—The Jerk. A comedy classic without a hint of seriousness, Austin discusses how this wildly absurd film holds up today and why great comedies often need a touch of reality to stay grounded.
