On today’s episode, we discuss the #11 highest rated movie of all-time on IMDB.. It was the highest-grossing film of 1994 domestically in a year absolutely stacked with movies. It was the winner of 6 Oscars and spent an insane 42 weeks in movie theaters. We dive deep. Is Jenny actually as terrible as we think she is? Is it just a fun story or can we actually learn anything from Forrest? Did all of this actually happen or is Forrest an unreliable narrator?
