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).

In this episode, Caitlin talks with Erin and Ozzie about A Rainy Day in New York, the 2019 Woody Allen rom-com starring Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez, Jude Law, and more. We do discuss the problem of Woody Allen in the context of this movie, but also delve into film and character analysis outside of that. And we wander a bit into yapping about the new Dune trailer, Project Hail Mary, Antz, and even our own films, so consider yourself warned.

In this episode, Caitlin and Kourtney discuss One & Two, a 2015 film starring Timothée Chalamet and Kiernan Shipka as teenage siblings with superpowers living in isolation. Although we agree this movie leaves a lot to be desired, comparisons are made to Bones & All as well as M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village, starring Joaquin Phoenix, who Timmy once called “the weird GOAT” when listing his favorite actors of all time.

Watch the movie for FREE on the Roku Channel, Plex, or Philo (likely for a limited time), or stream it on Prime.
