Dan and Brian continue their month-long look at teachers and training with an investigation of the seminal 1939 teacher flick, Goodbye Mr. Chips. Dan pauses to share some thoughts and reading on teacher movies as a whole, then they review the life-spanning tale of an English boarding school teacher. Join as they discuss the movie-as-mirror theory of teacher films, the impenetrable English boarding school jargon, the unexpected darkness of the film, pointless April Fools pranks, and the 1969 musical adaptation of the story.
