Send us a textToday we’re back for our fourth installment in our “Books That Made Us” nostalgia series, covering our reread of a classic: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.We venture back to highschool in the early 2000’s to remember all the books that made the deepest impact on us, even if we didn’t realize it then. The themes, the quotes, the characters… everything holds up to make The Great Gatsby more enjoyable and immersive each time we read it. Find out how we rated it, and what we think about the classic Robert Redford 1970’s movie rendition vs. the Leonardo DiCaprio Baz Luhrmann remake.Oh, and as a bonus treat, we take you even FURTHER down nostalgia street with a visit to the 90’s where we discuss our faves and fails: Millennial Roman Empire edition. Think POGS and the Oregon Trail! And don’t fret, we end with our classic unhinged smash or pass featuring messy bit*hes and a classic why choose SNL sketch style.Don't be shy, subscribe!
