Summary
So here's the deal - none of us had actually ever seen License to Drive before, but it came highly recommended from a listener who predicted the three of us would have a lot to say about it. They were not wrong.
Topics include: our familiarity with The Two Coreys as kids and the movies we tend to associate them with, our own experiences at the DMV and the stress of passing Driver's Ed, the surprisingly strong opening and Chris' desire for more moments with that level of absurdity, the countless subplots and characters that the movie does nothing with, Donna's dissatisfaction with the treatment of Mercedes, a round of 2 Truths 1 Lie, and much much more!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, do you remember license to drive? |
| 0:06.8 | Hello and welcome to Hey Do You Remember, a show where we reminisce about a movie or TV series we grew up with, then take off the rose-tinted glasses to see how it holds up. |
| 0:31.9 | I'm Chris. |
| 0:32.5 | I'm Donna. |

| 0:53.7 | Thank you. And I'm Carlos. And today we're revisiting License to Drive. When you're 16, the stakes don't get much higher than making sure you pass your driver's test. |

| 1:05.2 | See what they did there? |
| 1:07.1 | So when his spectacularly realistic and totally believable trip to the DMV does not end well, |
| 1:13.4 | Les is left with two choices. |
| 1:15.3 | Say goodbye to his date with Mercedes and spend another weekend getting chauffured around by mom, |
| 1:19.6 | or lie about passing the test, steal his grandfather's immaculately preserved Cadillac, |
| 1:25.0 | and proceed as planned. |
| 1:27.0 | Les chooses the second option, and you guys |
| 1:29.1 | aren't going to believe this, but shenanigans ensue. The evening quickly snowballs from a little bit |
| 1:34.8 | of bad luck to a full-fledged disaster that involves seedy tow truck drivers, slimy ex-boyfriends, |
| 1:40.9 | muscle-bound motorheads, drunk drivers, and a cavalcade of other obstacles. |
| 1:45.7 | Licensed to drive is one of the earliest and more successful pairings of the two Corrie's. |
| 1:50.2 | It's also the only one to be nominated for an Academy Award. |
