Asteroid City (2023)

This week we're discussing the latest film from one of our favorite directors, Wes Anderson, with his new candy-colored sci-fi flick ASTEROID CITY (2023). Other topics include Joey Pants drag performances, Pulitzer Prize-winning plays, and next week's guest Sophie Shin is officially the first guest to spin our infamous wheel!

Note that our discussion on ASTEROID CITY is spoiler-full even though the film just came out, so use the chapters in your podcast app if you'd like to skip the main discussion and remain spoiler-free.
