Required Reading: A Film Podcast
TV & Film
Alison Brie’s screenwriting debut Horse Girl marks her second collaboration with director (and co-writer) Jeff Baena. Initially positioned as the typical quirky indie fare you’d expect from the Sundance Film Festival--where it made its debut--the film soon takes an unexpected turn down a darker alley, exploring the devastating effects of paranoid schizophrenia (or is it?, etc.) from its protagonist’s increasingly fractured perspective. Does this Netflix Original clear the fence, or is it due a visit to the glue factory?
Alex and Dan are of course on hand to deliver their insights, ably assisted by our ever-growing, always eloquent group of Readers, although somehow - somehow! - we completely forget to mention the excellently observed show-within-a-film Purgatory. For shame. Please accept a mid-discussion quiz on actors with foody-drinky names (none of whom are called Geoff Beef) by way of atonement.
