The world of Mountainhead is terrifying and absurd, much like our own.

This guy from this thing would go on to be a guy in a bigger thing.
This entire episode is us shaking our fists at the sky. Turns out a 2015 movie about the 2008 recession is still sadly, painfully relevant.

So. Much. Yelling. In. Russian. We watched Sean Baker’s heartrending, tragi-comic new film and then dug into the class conflict / representations of sex work / weaponized wealth of it all.

In Everything Everywhere All at Once, we get a bedraggled, fed up, middle aged, Chinese immigrant wife and mom as our protagonist (played by the incomparable Michelle Yeoh), and she gets to kick actual ass as she tears through an IRS building while being audited. So yeah, we liked it.

Inside is a discomforting and very funny field trip into the head of the comedian Bo Burnham over the course of the pandemic. It’s a musical comedy special (emphasis on musical) and the songs actually had us LOLing. The serious moments are very, very serious — even grave — and the wild tonal swings from hilarity to despair to absurdity to hope really reflect the emotional roller coaster that was 2020. Highlights: “Face Time with My Mom (Tonight),” “Welcome to the Internet,” and the sketch where he’s a Twitch user playing the video game that is his life and he makes his player cry a lot.

We watched the Netflix series The Chair and of course had some strong feelings, especially given Joe’s own experiences of late in English departments of higher education institutions. We found a lot to like and a lot to completely shit on. (PS – there’s a little something special if you keep listening past the end…..).
