Episode description

Nearly a decade before his eventual directorial debut, writer Charlie Kaufman made a name for himself with his idiosyncratic, if not absurd, handling of characters in a surreal setting. His foray into self-identity and psycho-analysis shines through the weird and unnerving performances from the likes of a pony-tail sporting John Cusack and coloured-contact-wearing Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich. Join your hosts Erich and Krishiv as they journey down the mysterious Malvochian-wormhole and try to see things through a kaleidoscope of intersecting perspectives and relationships.
