About this episode
Ryan and guest Isabel Teran discuss the romantic themes and commentary of the film 'Say Anything...' in a special Valentine's Day episode.
For our ninety-first episode, we’re joined for this special Valentine’s Day by girlfriend of the show Isabel Teran (“Hearsing Around” podcast) for an intimate, soft-spoken discussion of the romantic audio commentary for Cameron Crowe’s (yes, again) directorial debut: 1989’s “Say Anything…”. Among the things discussed: unhealthy adolescent relationships between boys and girls, uncomfortable revelations and emotional growth, casting John Cusack’s sister Joan as his on-camera sister, which character is responsible for the title, Ione Skye hanging out with Frank Zappa’s kids (leading to your wonky yet affable host actually singing a song from “Mystery Science Theater 3000”), and so much more. Ryan’s Recommendations: “A Better Tomorrow II” (1987), “The Killer” (1989), and “Hard-Boiled” (1992) For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Our network: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
