About this episode

The hosts discuss a Jonathan Demme double feature featuring 'Something Wild' and 'Swimming to Cambodia' with guest Marc Basque.

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest programmer Marc Basque (Hear Me Out!) discuss a Jonathan Demme double feature of his colorful and musical screwball rom-com crime-thriller road movie SOMETHING WILD (1986) + his screen adaptation Spalding Gray's hilariously personal yet politically harrowing minimalist one-man-show monologue SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA (1987).
