Ep 204: Threesome - Mental Health Month

“I made the yogurt.” -Jack

Every year, we take a break from the "bad" movies for MENTAL HEALTH MONTH, a month in which we talk about movies we love! We're kicking it off this year with Whitney's pick, 1994's THREESOME starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin and Josh Charles. 

 

Threesome is a college comedy that traps three very different students, an uptight intellectual, a charmingly chaotic woman, and a seemingly shallow and vapid mimbo who is surprisingly complicated, in a dorm room thanks to a bureaucratic mix-up. What follows isn’t so much a straight-line plot as a slow unraveling of assumptions about attraction, identity, and emotional honesty, punctuated by awkward encounters and the kind of conversations people only have when they can’t avoid each other. The film sidesteps easy answers, letting its characters fumble toward self-awareness while occasionally making you laugh at how confidently wrong they all are.
