Artist Joy Mariama Smith takes Deborah through the plot-line of Tangerine (2015), a film shot entirely on iPhone, whose plot-line definitely earns the "explicit content" label this podcast has on iTunes, just in case, but is also extremely heartfelt and moving.
Artist Tania El Khoury takes Deborah Pearson through the plot of a film which charts a very handsome young John Lennon's early life, Nowhere Boy (2009). The film is based on a memoir written by his half sister, Julia Baird, but according to Tania's description, you'd never know it. Tania saw the film on the plane, isn't a fan of the Beatles, twice refers to Paul McCartney as Paul McCarthy and I don't correct her. Best just to be honest about that. But in many ways, that is the charm of this particular episode of The Whole Darned Thing. We all know how a story about John Lennon might end - what we don't know is how Tania El Khoury remembers or doesn't remember it, and why that is.
Season Butler takes Deborah Pearson through Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, a messed up tale of sadness, heartbreak, and a woman stepping on swords. A perfect bedtime story if you want your child's eyes to widen and their lower lip to tremble while you say, "Deal with it kiddo. Life's no fairytale. Now sleep tight, and if you have a nightmare, DON'T WAKE ME UP."
