I’ll Show You… Stand and Deliver (1988)

MoviesSeason Three
Written By Elyse Wietstock

Welcome back to I'll Show You Mine! This week, Elyse shows James "Stand and Deliver" from 1988. Based on the inspiring true story of Jaime Escalante, the movie follows a determined math teacher as he tries to teach his East LA students calculus and get them to pass the Advanced Placement test.

Join us as we discuss Stand and Deliver's place in the Mexican-American film canon, Elyse gets emotional over the icon Edward James Olmos, we consider our own experiences with AP classes, and we forget the name of Angel's friend (It's Chuco).

Our next episode will be February 13th, when James shows Elyse "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island" for the SNES.
