THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAAAAY!

We all have a certain type, right? Becca and Joe are each other’s type…but what is it to be a type anyway? Are we not all ever changing and nuanced complexes of chemicals, just performing the way we think we’ve been typecast to perform? And why are we so against it anyway? Welcome to Episode Seven of Season Two of A Couple of Old Fashioneds: Becca and Joe’s Double Feature Date Night at the Movies!

On this episode the Theme is, “Against Type”, and the movies are:

VERTIGO & MISERY!

Whose movie pick features dual types and deceptive typecasting, and whose movie pick features writers wrestling against type with cinematic typewriters? Did either Becca and Joe go against their usual type or are they just being typical?

Watch the episode to find out if you guessed right, and stay tuned to the end to find out what the Theme will be next week!

Don’t forget now the show is its own broadcast to please subscribe to its YouTube and Podcast channels, share with anyone you think would enjoy and stay up to date on latest episodes! Follow it on Instagram and Letterboxd to see the complete movie lists and let Becca and Joe know in the Comment Sections on YouTube or leave a Review wherever you Podcast about whether you agree with their picks and what movie you would’ve brought if it had been a Triple Feature.

We know if nothing else that you’re our type - whatever that means! Thank you for letting us be your type, too.

After all, the greatest gift a movie lover can give another is a great title they have yet to discover. That’s what movies are all about - they’re the only kind of marathon worth participating in and they’re what Date Nights are made for.

So settle in, grab your favorite old fashioned drink with your favorite old fashioned person (if that’s the pleasure of your own company then we completely feel you), and revel in a couple old fashioned conversations with Becca and Joe. They are, let’s face it, a pretty old fashioned kind of couple themselves.
