Dave: Hey Folks! Dave Blanks here from University Communications back with another Dave by the Bell. On today’s edition, I ask students to put themselves in this hypothetical situation. So…You’re stuck at your house. It’s raining outside. You want to watch a movie. You’re flipping though Netflix or whatever video service provider you subscribe to or maybe even cable. Whatever it is. You’re looking for a movie to watch and then…there it is. You’ve seen it before. You’ve seen it plenty of times. But, you could always watch it and enjoy it. What is your go-to rainy day movie? Let’s find out what they had to say.

Voice 1: I’d probably have to say Forest Gump or something with Mark Wahlberg in it I would watch that. Anything with Mark Wahlberg in it I would watch any day all day.

Voice 2: I never get tired of watching Star Wars.
