125 - The Telephone
Episode description
Jeremy is joined by author and podcaster Jason Kruppa to solve the riddle that is the 1988 comedy-drama The Telephone, which stars Whoopi Goldberg and is directed by Rip Torn from a script by Harry Nilsson and Terry Southern. Their attempts to unravel the film take in such subjects as substance abuse, pet care, filmed plays and how New Yorkers all go about in their angry little boxes.
