About this episode
Dan Mangan chats with Sarah Desjardins about creativity, film exposure, and personal growth.
You know her from Yellow Jackets and Tron: Ares, it's Vancouver's own Sarah Desjardins! Among other things, Dan and Sarah chat about overthinking the creative process, accidentally exposing kids to R rated movies over your shoulder on a plane, panic attacks, tarot card readings, and how in order to be happy, you have to be willing to be a bit cringey. This episode features a surprise needle drop of "Unsolicited Advice" by Charles Spearin.
