We're joined by Summer Plair to talk Sorry To Bother You and how it portrays capitalism, how it represents diverse experiences, and just how INCREDIBLY weird it is.   Audio Note: Minor audio issues at the end of episode as Summer's audio switched to her computer and thus was picking up Ben and Chloe. It's almost entirely been edited around but there are occasional hiccups.

Ben and Chloe committed the greatest sacrifice known to film: they watched The Last Airbender. They did it for their art, but honestly, they also did it as an excuse to talk about the tv show at length.

There are two very important things Ben wants you to know about Sing Street. One is that it's definitely a musical. Two, and most importantly, is that it also just so happens to be the best movie ever made.

Sure you could tune into this week's episode to hear how much we like the movie's use of visuals, music, and narrative setup to build mystery and tension. BUT you can also tune in for Ben's continual insulting of Stanley Kubrick and Chloe endlessly lusting after Jake Gyllenhaal. Yeah, we know what the people want.

Women. They're little. Well only in flashbacks. WELL not even in those really because they're still portrayed by adult actresses. Whatever, the point is Ben thinks this is one of the best movies ever made and he WILL talk your ear off about it.
