In this episode, Johnnymelodica takes back the classroom with Tom Berenger in "The Substitute" (1993), dredges up hilarious trailers to the dystopian direct-to-video "Class of 1999" series, and examines themes of Stoic acceptance and compassion in the Camus-inspired, intensely human "Detachment" (2011), starring Adrian Brody as a substitute teacher in a crumbling public school.  He also looks at "Mouse Hunt" (1997) starring Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, and chats with Nikhil Idnani about life and other things.

In this first installment on the great Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-20, we consider the staggering scope and deep reach of the viral disease that swept the world three times, infecting one third of humankind and killing more people than the World War that nonetheless overshadowed it in the public mind.  The second installment will consider the lingering impacts of the pandemic, its enduring mysteries, and the possible reasons it has been forgotten.
