NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to Elliot Page's announcement that he is a transgender person and identifies with the pronouns he/him or they/them. Elliot is a remarkable actor, and we're fans of his work, including Juno and Inception (which we talk about in this episode!). We wanted to acknowledge that we use the actor's former name in the episode in case any listeners find it triggering. We encourage you to read Elliot's announcement, learn about how to respectfully refer to him, and to learn more about trans issues. Here is a link to an article from Glaad for more information:
