Brian and Dan kick off a new theme month: "Train Month," but the verb this time. Each week, we'll look at movies about teachers and other improvement figures and regimens.

To kick the month off, Dan and Brian discuss two films that were formative examples of movie teachers for Brian: Fred MacMurray as a Scoutmaster in Follow Me, Boys! and Richard Dreyfuss as a band teacher in Mr. Holland's Opus.

Join as they discuss their own connections with the education career, the flashpoint status of Boy Scouts, the breakdown of midcentury economics, shifting mores towards masculinity over time, the "opus" of a life of service, and "sects" in the pool.
