Summary

Mommy's back! Emily Yoshida joins the gang to talk about 2002's Morvern Callar, a surprisingly tender film about grief, starting over, and taking a Jet2 Holiday. We're chatting about Samantha Morton's unconventional star quality, our personal history with mixtapes, and the Fantastic Beasts franchise for some reason. Plus, Ben reveals his love of seaside snow, Griffin adds some context from the source material (or whatever he could translate from the Scottish dialect), and everyone agrees that Morvern did nothing wrong.

Now, I'm choosing not to do a Scottish accent.

0:34.7

I was literally about to say.

0:35.8

Because it's typed.

0:37.3

It is typed and I don't think you have a perfect Scottish accent. Oh, really? Is that a show? Maybe you do. Maybe you have a challenge. I don't support you. I love you. Be brave.
