This one’s a few weeks late because Will (6’2) is bad at time management and refuses to change.

The main tallpic is following up on the previous conversation about the internet – particularly the way it’s enabled cool guys like Connor (6’4) to engage in nerditry across the world, and how it’s all ultimately a miserable heap of attention-seeking capitalism in the bloodshot eyes of Will.

There’s also a touch of hip hollywood insider chat at the open.

The TallBoyz are who they are 🤷‍♂️

The internet has existed for the entirety of Connor's (6'4) life. Today he and co-host Will (6'2) talk about growing up in the age of an ever-changing system of tubes, along with rapidly-evolving society that built them. 

Will also has some thoughts on the corporate centralization of what could be so much more!

Tall Talk broadens our horizons (and lowers our average elevation) by welcoming our first guest to the podcast: Dani (5'6), of hotgirlnovels fame!

Together with Dani, Will (6'2) and Connor (6'4) -- each a synecdoche of sequential screenwriting micro-generations -- talk through the advice each received as a burgeoning art kid, and examine how the differences serve as a rough history of an ever-changing, wholly unpredictable industry.

This week the towering twosome respond to a favorite question from the successfully-writing/producing-wife of Connor (6’4): “What is your favorite comfort-horror movie, guilty-pleasure-horror movie, and the horror movie you’re most likely to recommend?”

Comfort

ARMY OF DARKNESS (Will)

CABIN IN THE WOODS (Connor)

Most Likely to Recommend:

EVENT HORIZON (Will)

HALLOWEEN (1978) (Connor)

Guilty Pleasure:

YOU’RE NEXT (Will)

DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004) (Connor)

Will (6'2) takes Connor (6'4) through his lifelong fascination with faeries, in a redux of the Connor-led Godzilla episode (but with a robust literary sensibility, rather than Connor's).

Tall Boy Connor (6'4) takes kaiju-naif Will (6'2) through the weird, wacky, incomprehensible history of Godzilla and his altitudinous pantheon of friends and foes. Will also gets to dunk on Ayn Rand.

Connor (6'4) doesn't get the joke and makes us actually talk tall.
