151 - Booksmart

Eavesdropping at the Movies - A podcast by Jose Arroyo and Michael Glass

Categories:

Ridiculously, relentlessly, laugh-out-loud funny, we had a brilliant time in Booksmart. It's a last-day-before-graduation high school comedy about two girls determined to finally have some fun having been bookworms their entire lives. José loves the central relationship between the straight and lesbian best friends, Mike loves the empathy and openness the film shows towards every one of its characters, deliberately constructing them at first as high school archetypes so that it can go on to reveal their hidden depths. Booksmart is a simply brilliant comedy with tons of heart and you will have a fantastic time. Don't miss it. Recorded on 3rd June 2019.
