In this week’s episode, Aidan and Aditi explore the innovative film Boyhood (2014), shot over 12 years to authentically capture a boy named Mason's journey from childhood to adulthood. They discuss director Richard Linklater's unique narrative approach and relate it to their own childhood experiences, sharing personal stories and excerpts from Aditi’s childhood diary.

This week, we're diving into the kooky, absurd, and surrealist world of Julio Torres, spotlighting his debut movie Problemista (2023) and the recent TV show Fantasma (2024). Known for his unique comedic style, Torres stars, directs, and produces these works, blending humor and surrealism to highlight the complexities and contradictions of the US immigration system. Through his storytelling, he sheds light on the stressful and bureaucratic nature of the process.

Tune in to hear about Aidan's growing obsession with Julio Torres and Suha's recent run-in with the former SNL writer on the streets of Brooklyn! Join us for an engaging discussion on Torres' creative genius and the profound messages woven into his works.
