Description
John, Hallie, and Sarah discuss 1991's Career Opportunities, starring Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly. They reimagine the movie for a 2023 audience, but they would never change the film's Target store setting. And the soundtrack slaps, so they probably wouldn't change that either. Sarah was going to make a Spotify playlist, but someone named millifoo already did. (Thanks, millifoo.) You can listen to the soundtrack playlist here.
