We Have a Birthday Boy in The House! (Episode 9)

LIVE from quarantined Pennsylvania your favorite team of as-yet-to-be-infected movie talk about people are back! (Via Zoom of course). To throw yet another curveball in the format for you loyal followers - we also did our first birthday special to celebrate the aging of Max. We are doing our best to adjust to the situation and will be supplying you, our adoring public, with Dern adjacent content until the end of days.

For the birth of Max, as dictated arbitrarily by Nic, he got to force us to watch any film his heart desired! His heart chose the 1993 Robert Altman mega-casted "Short Cuts". This film follows about 22 people (including Huey Lewis, Jack Lemmon, and Lily Tomlin to name a very few) on an intersecting journey of luck, loss, and infidelity. To save you the gory details, we listed out most of the films big points in the episode - we did our best but do advise you check it our for yourself (contact us for a copy but don't tell Fine Line Features (SHHHH)).

Along with that we discussed the states of our unions, hobnobbed, talked about what we are reading (Max- The Decameron- a 1353 collection of 100 bawdy tales of life and religion following the bubonic plague) (Nic - Everything is Eventual - a great early 2000's collection of Stephen King short stories). 

In these trying times - all we can do is our best. Read, create, listen to things you enjoy. If you can support businesses and artists you like please do. Through our love of Dern and movies we will all make it through this with our sanity and movie counts bigger and better. Until then...please follow us, give us your feedback, share us around, and stay tuned for more Dern!
