You Can Live Forever (2022)

About this episode

Joe and Brenna discuss the queer Canadian film 'You Can Live Forever' directed by Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky.

Joe and Brenna venture into new territory to discuss writing/directing duo Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky's queer Canadian Jehovah's Witness romance. Featuring stand-out performances by Anwen O'Driscoll and June Laporte, the 90s-set film is beautifully quiet and contemplative. Plus: debate about the effectiveness of the ending; a surprising best friend character; and questions about the "mom on the phone" Wanna connect with the show?
