Grab your brownies and cue up the Gin Blossoms, this week, we’re celebrating Rex Manning Day with a stoned rewatch of Empire Records . We talk chaotic retail energy, existential teen angst, rooftop dance therapy, and why Gina might actually be the most honest character in the movie. There’s fake funerals, real feelings, and a very confusing declaration of love from AJ. Does it all hold up? Is it better when you’re high? Damn the man and find out.
