Talk about a two-hand spectacular! We’ve got Nikole Beckwith, the director of one phenomenal indie two-hander (Together Together, starring Ed Helms and Patti Harrison) talking about the two-hander debut from director Charlotte Wells (in which the two “hands” are Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio). And only two of our usual hosts are here (which was totally planned, look how nice it all lines up, no holes in this story!). Then there’s a quiz about – what else – Two-Handers! 

(A two-hander is a movie that mainly focuses on on two leads, in case that wasn’t clear from context.)
