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.
