Ep 303: "Lean On Me" Revisited

Season 7 Premier!  Armed with a baseball bat and a big mouth, Joe Clark was a man with a mission: to turn around the test scores of the struggling "cauldron of violence" known as Eastside High in Paterson, New Jersey. The 1989 film, Lean on Me, chronicled Clark's plight while Morgan Freeman nailed his first starring role. But now, decades later, does this flick make us all feel like we're in detention? Why is everyone in this movie yelling? And, why fire the music teacher? The Old Roommates sign up for extra credit and revisit this crowdpleaser through their middle-aged lens. Grab a number 2 pencil and join them.
