b'This week we take it back to the college days with the Pauly Shore classic "Son in Law"!

If there\'s something to learn from watching the film "Son in Law", it\'s that you never need to live on a farm forever when you can be in college with Pauly Shore! "Son in Law" was released in 1993 and directed by Steve Rash. The film displays a character going from life on a farm to life in a city and all walks of confidence in between. Is there relatability for contemporary viewers with this film? We discuss this and more on our episode this week! Plot: Country girl Rebecca (Carla Gugino) has spent most of her life on a farm in South Dakota, and, when she goes away to college in Los Angeles, Rebecca immediately feels out of place in the daunting urban setting. She is befriended by a savvy party animal named Crawl (Pauly Shore), who convinces the ambivalent Rebecca to stay in the city. When Thanksgiving break rolls around, Rebecca, no longer an innocent farm girl, invites Crawl back to South Dakota, where he pretends to be her fianc\\xe9.'
