62: Lenore (Measure of a Man)

We recorded this second installment of the miniseries we are NOT calling H*t T**n S*mm*r on the United States' Semiquincentennial, talking about Measure of a Man, which takes place during the United States' Bicentennial.  But the movie was made in 2016.  So this is podcast is celebrating the semicentennial of the events of the movie, but the decicentennial of the production of the movie.  Also these anniversaries aren't the measurements that the movie is about, it's about a fat kid who learns how to stand up to a gay Vietnam veteran bully. And Judy Greer is his mom.  The fat kid's, not the Vietnam veteran.  During the United States Bicentennial.
