460: Lumina, with Ashlie Atkinson

Episode 460

13th September 2025

A movie that will have you saying, “Wait, what?” And also “C’mon.”

Episode notes

It’s Smalltember (Elliott pops into frame to say “Smallvember!”) — that special time of year when we allow ourselves to stray from big Hollywood movies to examine some tinier, more idiosyncratic pictures. And boy howdy is Lumina idiosyncratic! So we welcomed actor Ashlie Atkinson (The Gilded Age, The Lost Bus, Mr. Robot and much more) to help decipher the madness!

Our first Chicago show sold out, so we ADDED A LATE SHOW! Come see us live!
