In this episode, Caitlin talks with Simon and Eleanor about The Adderall Diaries, the A24 adaptation of Stephen Elliott’s memoir of the same name, starring James Franco, Ed Harris, Amber Heard, and Christian Slater.

We talk a lot about the ethics of art, artists, and media in this one, so buckle up and listen to us get philosophical.

In this episode, Caitlin talks with her cousin Jack and BFF Shannon about Netflix’s 2022 animated TV special, Entergalactic, based on the Kid Cudi album of the same name. Timmy voices Jimmy, a lovable pothead and one of two best friends of the main character, Jabari (voiced by Cudi). Our conversation runs deep into Timmy’s character as well as the technical aspects of animation and filmmaking (among other things, including Nicolas Cage, courtesy of Sean).

In this episode, Caitlin talks with filmmaker Kourtney Lyons and fiction writer Casady McEvoy about Bones & All, the 2022 cannibal love story adapted from the 2015 novel by Camille DeAngelis. This movie was Timmy’s second collaboration with director Luca Guadagnino, and another coming of age film with strong 80s vibes (though it’s the 90s in the book).

If you haven’t seen the movie and you’re sensitive to onscreen violence, you may want to just watch the clips linked in the episode description before listening.
