Debate: The Movie
I didn’t actually do policy debate (Congress and LD), but nonetheless, I pretty much lived this movie for four years in high school.
One of the more surreal moments of my life came in college last year, when I was able to make two senior girls go ga-ga over me by reading from John Dewey at spread-speed (and believe me, I wouldn’t be even considered fast on the policy circuit). I guess chicks really do dig debaters.

Ah, a classical duo playing Blister in the Sun…..good times.
Yeah, you can tell my generation (30s) is making the movies now. Violent Femmes was THE album in 8th grade boarding school in 1985. In only about 10 years we can get Naughty by Nature as a retro soundtrack.
Um, 30 years ago we did not like being called “chicks.”
We still don’t.
The reference was tongue-in-cheek (do you really think I use the word “dig” non-ironically in shovel-less situations?).
