Episode #278: "A dare to be great situation" | Say Anything (1989)

Welcome to our final entry for 1989... and our final 80s movie of the 30Something Movie Podcast! It's bittersweet ending to the decade we love so much, but in many ways this is the perfect movie to end it with. As we have moved from the teen movies of the 80s and are "graduating" to the 90s, this movie feels like an 80s teen movie that's "growing up."
John Cusack, Ione Skye and John Mahoney star in Say Anything.
