Work. Life. Vacation. Technical Difficulties. COVID. They try to hold us down, but we claw our way out eventually. Finally this much delayed episode is hitting the feed. What a journey. Delighted to have Monaya Hustoft on to show to chat about her life and where her love of movies comes from and how that catapulted her into the ranks of the State Theater regulars. We then dive into the latest from Jane Schoenbrun, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.

But wait! There’s more! This is a DOUBLE EPISODE!!! I am also joined by Jameson Pfeifle and DeeDee Collins for a conversation about the smash hit that almost never saw the light of day, Coyote Vs. Acme!
