The year is 2015 and in this podcast you will not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Bad fight!

The movie? What we do in the chat.

Hello everyone and welcome to on Spoole.

I am Paul Sheer. I am a lover of movies and I am a lover of my co-host who is the amazing

film critic who often writes from New York Times. Amy Nicholson, how are you Amy?

Hello, how are you?

I'm so excited that we are doing this series of... I call it like a pull yourself up by your

bootstrap series. This is like a series of films that were made on a shoestring budget that

fought to get into theaters and when they did they became part of the culture.

Part of it was like this.

This is a very interesting film because I haven't watched this in a handful of years and I

have forgotten how much I loved it and I also was surprised in doing the research.

This is a movie that only two people saw the script and those two people were the directors,

Jameen Clement and Tyco Ahtiti. That's it and everybody else were allowed to find their

character with guidance from the two of them.

I'm excited to go to back to this too because I feel like this is really a pivot point for me in the

careers of Jameen Clement and Tyco Ahtiti. This is where I really mostly became aware of Tyco.

I know about his film Boy, I hadn't paid that much attention to his career. Here is where I was

And I came into this movie with a bunch of preconceptions about Jameen Clement which I'm ready to speak

with you openly about and purge.
