Tune up that tractor and pack that pasta salad! On this perfectly thematically tied episode, Christine and Emily explore aging with two wildly different films. First up is M. Night. Shyamalan's OLD, which...doesn't go well. We redeem ourselves with the absolutely astounding feat that is David Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY.
