Summary

Zoe Lister-Jones (Whitney, Arranged) stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to talk about Consumed, the dramatic indie thriller she and her husband Daryl Wein recently made which is the first narrative film about GMOs—and we did talk about it—but first we had to chat about the period of time she and her husband had an open relationship and the movie they made about that experience called Breaking Upwards. We also talked about the one woman show Zoe did years ago in which she played multiple characters including a deaf vagina, growing up the child of artist parents in Brooklyn, feeling sympathy toward men, seeking unavailable men, playing Joe Biden's legal counsel in the upcoming Confirmation, how to make a rat scratch itself on cue and animal entourages, sad burgers, shopping for toilet paper and tampons in bulk and so much more. We also took your questions over twitter and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

0:46.0	watched Consumed, which is your independent movie, which is, is it, when's it coming out
0:51.4	or is it already out? We're actually releasing it through this cool new platform called Gather,

1:14.8	Very cool. Bleak movements. Moments of hopefulness, but overall, I was like, I did not feel like
1:23.7	skipping around after watching it. No, it's pretty intense. I mean, you know, it takes
1:27.9	place in the sort of food industrial complex. It's set in the world of genetically modified
1:32.5	food. So it's a bleak subject matter and it's something that impacts all of us, which
1:36.6	is I think why it's hard walking out of the theater or your living room in your case
1:41.8	and not really feeling the impact of what this means for all of us. Right. So you star
1:46.3	in the movie and you also wrote, produced, directed, not direct, your husband directed
1:53.2	it. Right. Your husband who by the way, I was watching a trailer of Breaking Upwards, which

2:03.3	one. Thank you so much. We've been together 12 years. Wow. Yeah. And you had an open relationship
