Chris and Perry are back with a bonus episode!
Sarah Polley’s “Take This Waltz” was ignored by critics and audiences upon its release in 2012, despite being the second film from a director whose last work (“Away From Her”) had been critically acclaimed. It also co-stars Seth Rogen, who was on a hot streak at that time. Perry is here to tell audiences to seek out this smart, heartbreaking look at marriage and the plight of being in your late-twenties.
This bonus episode, as well as one coming in two weeks, will be available at no cost through April. Starting in May, bonus episodes will be available only to supporters on Patreon. If you enjoy this episode and would like to keep hearing them, please consider supporting the show on Patreon.
