Join hosts Nick & Erin as they discuss a movie-of-the-week and then each pick a 2nd film to create a thematically spicy double bill. Their goal: to pair art with trash and vice versa. Because after all, one person's E.T.: The Extraterrestrial is another person's Mac & Me.

127: Being John Malkovich (1999) - Malkovich Us All, Every One
Malkovich to you and welcome to the second set of Bong June-ho!
This pair of episodes is all about thinking about the concept of a Guy. What if several guys became one guy? What if one guy was several guys? We're here to answer these questions and more, starting with Spike Jonze's 1999 dark comedy headtrip, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH.
We get into Spike Jonze's BMX and MTV lifestyle, Charlie Kaufman's sketch comedy origins, our feelings on John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, and Catherine Keener. And of course the question everyone wants the answer to: why Malkovich?
This movie's prescience lies in its surreal prediction of fan culture, and we are forced to invoke the dreaded phrase: "you couldn't make this today", while dredging up our corporate job histories. We're also drawing parallels between Bong Joon-ho's filmography and why he lists this as one of his favourites!
Next time we wrap up our set of Guys by hanging out with several Robert Pattinsons in MICKEY 17!
