Nick and Joy get a bit worked up over some of their favorite films; from plot twists to movie scores, emotional deaths to don't bother seeing the movie. They laugh, rip on M. Night a bit, throw Solo under the bus, and enjoy a bit of John Williams.

To avoid any spoilers for movies that have come out 20-30 years ago, jump in around minute 40. Seriously though, you've probably seen the movies.

This week Nick and Joy talk watercolors and some of the techniques Nick has learned over the years, both from mentors, friends, and his favorite influences. If you've wanted to learn a bit more about how watercolor painting works, learning through trial and error, or simply being patient while you paint, give it as listen. Or don't, I'm not your mom. But I think you'll find it fun and insightful.

This week we talk about some of our summer reading book reviews, relationships, and being rejected in our creative endeavors. It's wildly weird. Brutally honest. And, well, you'll just have to listen for yourself as we reminisce about the things we've been rejected from. 

We also mention @thediggingestgirl book and work. Check her out!
