Episode notes
Long before THE WHALE was released, Drea texted our friend (comedian, movie star, and Mr. Prune) Guy Branum and asked him to join us for this episode whenever it happened. So today, we answer the question: What happens when a provocative filmmaker puts an excellent, straight actor in an elaborate fat suit and then films a stage play about it?
Plus, everyone shares some 2023 New Movie Year Resolutions, and tells us who else they’d like to have a big-screen comeback.
