"Supergirl," "Jackass: Last and Best," What the Success of "Obsession" and "Backrooms" Means
About this episode
The episode discusses the new DC movie 'Supergirl', the final Jackass film, and the success of 'Obsession' and 'Backrooms' in relation to changes in moviegoing.
There's a new DC movie out, from the James Gunn stable, it's "Supergirl." Also, there's a very very very different movie out, the final (probably) Jackass movie, "Jackass: Best and Last." But the real discussion is a long overdue one: We dig into, deeply, the success of "Obsession" and "Backrooms," which is about age and moviegoing changes and what makes people fall in love with the movies in the first place. This was a very, very fun talk. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.
