Twinless is about an unlikely duo, a personable bro who's not the brightest tool in the shed,

and a prickly, often condescending gay man. When they meet in a support group for people who have lost their twin, a very interesting bond is formed.

The movie's got a wry sensibility, great chemistry, and it dares to take some dark turns you probably won't see coming.

I'm Glenn Weldon.

And I'm Aisha Harris, and today we're talking about twin lists on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

Showing us today is one of the hosts of NPR's Code Switch podcast, Gene Demby. Hey, Gene, welcome back.

What's good, Joe? Oh my God, so glad to be here. Great to have you. Also, I'm not sure if listeners know, but you yourself are a twin.

I am a twin. Another kind of twin in this movie. Well, yes, but I'm very excited to hear your

thoughts on that. But first, you know, twinless is written, directed by and stars James Sweeney as

Dennis, a moody loner whose twin brother has passed. He connects with Roman, a dultish but

vulnerable guy who's also lost his twin brother, Romans played by Dylan O'Brien.

Now, despite having little in common besides a deceased sibling, they grow close and lend one another some emotional support in dealing with their grief.

But, and this is a pretty big butt, there's a lot they don't know about each other.

And that's all I'm going to say about that for now.
