In this episode, we dive into the 1987 high school action-drama The Principal, starring Jim Belushi as an unlikely tough-guy lead. Was he ever truly a leading man? We look back at the era where "everyman" casting clashed with action clichés, cop-dog trends, and Reagan-era school reform cinema. Also featuring Louis Gossett Jr., Rae Dawn Chong, and a very white-savior plot.
