Pleasantville (1998)

"No, David. Nobody's happy in a poodle skirt and sweater set."

This week The Wives are jumping back to the supposed good ol' days and taking a trip to PLEASANTVILLE. Together they discuss how this is a teen girl movie hidden beneath a teen boy protagonist, Harmony talks about "mental hygiene films" aka teen behavioral propaganda, BJ talks about the complications of telling this story with an all-white cast, and both pay homage to Paul Walker as an underappreciated himbo.
