Hi and welcome back to ordinary time with Z & Keith!

This week we're discussing Gus van Sant's prescient 1995 reflection on media and the American fascination with individual celebrity: To Die For.

Starring NIcole Kidman and featuring young Joaquin Phoenix, Casey Affleck and Allison Folland--plus a host of many other pod favorites in the supporting cast--this movie is a contemporary, stylized, yet grounded take on a the timeless obsession with fame at any cost.

Along the way we visit Blockbuster nostalgia, Lyco-gastronomy and shower masturbation.
