In this episode, Bo and Caitlin talk about The Dark Knight, the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie that set 12-year-old Timmy on the path to acting greatness. He’s not in the film, but he loves Heath Ledger’s Joker enough that we decided to record an episode on it.

In this episode, Caitlin talks with Eleanor about Hot Summer Nights, the 2017 indie film about a young man who gets in over his head dealing drugs in Cape Cod in 1991. We dig a lot more into how the movie came to be than Timmy’s acting, but we hope you enjoy what we have to say all the same.

And now that we've finished talking about all of Timmy's movies to date (no we're not counting short films or Homeland or Loving Leah), the second half of this season (until Dune: Part Three of course) will cover films Timothée loves, rather than films he's in.

In this episode Caitlin talks with Kami and Nicole about Miss Stevens, the 2016 indie film starring Lily Rabe, Timothée Chalamet, and Lili Reinhart of Riverdale fame. It’s a movie about a young teacher who chaperones a few high schoolers on a drama trip that spawned Timmy’s viral Death of a Salesman monologue, rivaled only by his off-Broadway performance in Prodigal Son.

Note: We did have some recording issues, so you'll hear a little more cross-talk than usual, and a few pops here and there (apologies).
