Kayla and Tyler dive into Todd Solondz' Happiness, our first listener pick, courtesy of Landon Defever. The film deals with some difficult subject matter, as each character in this web has their own flawed idea of how best to find the titular concept. It's uncomfortable, to say the last. But first, the team dives into some timely 2019 fare with a frustrated reckoning with The Rise of Skywalker, an earnest defense of Black Christmas 2019, and an appreciation of the Netflix's Let It Snow.

In their September episode, Kayla and Tyler tackle a double feature of high-concept high school movies that aren't really about high school. Talking points: the 90s American male, how movies and audiences view female characters, transplanting noir into a surprisingly fitting setting, the need for challenging art and curated streaming, and the power of withholding catharsis. Also, Rian Johnson good! But first - Kayla revisits A Star is Born and Tyler relates the plot of the 2008 Bradley Cooper-starring motion picture The Midnight Meat Train.

On this month's podcast, Kayla and Tyler revisit one of their favorite (ongoing, damn it!) film series and talk Happy Death Day(s).

Also, Kayla challenges a movie producer to a fistfight and learns how Patreon works shortly before leaving the country. Are all these things connected?
