Best Friend and Criterion Collection supporter Steffan Sitka joins me to watch two very different movies. He shows me Brand on the Brain and I get a lot of stuff wrong. We talk about Film Noir, stereotypes of the 50s and a Clockwork Orange. I'm enthralled in the love triangle and keep trying to expand it.
Then I show him Almost Famous. We talk about New York Actor's gangs, Alvin and the Chipmunks and tour bus drivers. We laugh, we cry, we talk.
I learned a lot and I had a great time!

S2E18: Harold and Maude v. Tommy Boy
Best Friend and perpetual optimist Marcelina Chavira sits miles away from me on a computer to share one of her favorite movies - Harold and Maude. It is weird and both not enough and too much. We talk about ageism, the agency of a woman and how talented Margot Robbie is.
Then I show her Tommy Boy and it is very different. We talk about little boy humor and it's very real place in the world, and I talk about loving David Spade in this era. We laugh, we cry we talk about life. I learned a lot and had a great time.
BYE FOREVER

S2E17: S.O.B. v. Empire Records
Best Friend and dog actor enthusiast Stephanie Streisand comes on the show to show me a classic - S.O.B. She teaches me a lot about the movie industry, I talk a lot about how dogs break into the biz. She talks intelligently about the background of the movie and how it came to be and I keep nodding, forgetting I'm audio only.
Then I show her Empire Records and she does an amazingly accurate job of predicting the movie. We talk about Can't Hardly Wait and 90's tropes and how surprisingly empowered women are in this movie. I try to talk about rock and roll but you can tell I'm an imposter. We laugh, we cry, we learn a lot and have a great time.
BYE FOREVER.
