Having a podcast is a crazy thing to do. It’s a socially accepted form of insanity—and I was joined by Ryan Kiourkas (my former co-host of the fabled podcast And Now Our Watch Begins) to be insane together. We talked about Spike Jonze’s weird and wonderful ‘Her,’ and debated whether the film was more romantic or melancholy. Then, I gave Ryan a quiz to help him find his perfect AI soulmate (spoiler alert: she has more scalp tattoos than you). 8 films down, 392 go. Be sure to tune in next week when Ryan returns to talk about ‘Lars and the Real Girl!’
