It might not be the perfect back-to-school film choice, but we went for it nonetheless. Election, the 1999 black comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick, is our main topic of discussion this week.

Also discussed: Lisa\'s trip to Spain, depressing sex scenes in film, and Emma Klein\'s novel, The Girls.
