Martin is joined by returning guest Becky D’Anna to discuss Alexander Payne’s Election. They discuss the film’s use of unreliable narration, which of its characters are sympathetic, its garbage motif, and what a bee sting adds to it.  They talk about why the film’s ending is perfect, and why the original ending might not have worked. They cover the film’s political satire, depiction of high school life, and decide once and for all if Tracy Flick is a winner.
