DEAD POETS SOCIETY

For generations, Welton Academy students have been groomed to live lives of conformity and tradition – until new professor John Keating inspires them to think for themselves, live life to the fullest and “Carpe Diem.” This unconventional approach awakens the spirits of the students, but draws the wrath of a disapproving faculty when an unexpected tragedy strikes the school.

Alan and Craig along with guest Valerie Cameron (@moviesmakeus on Twitter) discuss privilege, mentors, and begin an entire month Remembering Robin with the movie “Dead Poets Society” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
