'Dazed and Confused' (1993): We Get Older, It Stays The Same Age

Alright, Alright, Alright!  This week Julian, Madeline and Emilio kick off their newest cycle of High School movies by revisiting a 90s favorite about the 70s, Richard Linklater's 'Dazed and Confused'.   The trio looks back on their own time in high school, and discuss what this movie gets right about this time in life.  What signature Linklater touches are present in this movie?  Which of the film's impressive ensemble performances stand out, and which ones leave something to be desired?  What's the deal with all the hazing?  Is Milla Jovovich really playing that guitar?  Which of the several great needle drops is most satisfying?  And which of these characters do each of the co-hosts relate to the most?
