Come on a journey all about movies and how they intersect our lives. After some introductory remarks, Denny and I discuss movies (1917, Sorry to Bother You, Spiderman Across the Spiderverse, Alone, Incredibles 2, The Creator, Squaring the Circle, Umbrella Academy, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, X-men Origins Wolverine, Wolverine and Deadpool, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, X-men, X-men 2, Bob Marley One Love, Bohemian Rhapsody, Boy George, Oppenheimer, The Imitation Game, Stand By Me,) broadly in "what are you watching lately" section. Later, (The Royal Tennenbaums, Rushmore, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou).

For the main course, we discuss the finer points of Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film "The Fabelmans". "It's like letting them read your soul's journal and just praying they don't laugh at it." (Denny Taylor) This gives way into a discussion about life and about our lives, specifically. We make time to touch on other directors Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and a host of other things.
