This week's guest Pete Johnston is a director and film professor at MSU. You can read all about him and his film projects at the cleverly named pizzageni.us. Pete was a quarter-finalist on the 2025 Jeopardy second chance tournament and can be seen there whenever the Jeopardy gods decide to put that one on streaming.

Pete recommends the movie "Joy Bubbles" set in the world of the phone phreaks.

Dre recommends "Bring It On!". Yeah, the cheer-dance movie.
