Ep 65: "Dead Poets Society" Revisited

Ohhhhhh, Neil. He came, he made goofy faces, he left our world so early...and dramatically.<br />Actually, Neil is just one of the main characters with a flair for drama in 1989’s Dead Poets<br />Society. A slow-burning showcase for Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke and writer-director Peter<br />Weir, the school-based hit charmed critics and audiences alike. But, decades later, is it a rousing<br />inspiration or a boring blockbuster? Is Neil an over-reactor, a bad actor or just played by one?<br />Does the movie do too good a job putting the ‘bored’ in ‘boarding school’? The Old Roommates<br />emerge from their COVID cave to discuss it all.
