This week on the pod, The pursuit of happiness is all full of crooks, perverts and pedophiles as we continue our seasonal slog of Bummer Summer with a very special film about family. We learn just how dark a comedy can get as we watched Todd Solondz’s 1998 “semenal” film, “Happiness”. Join us as we foray into the first Todd Solondz film for the podcast and contextualize just what makes this director a perfect contender for the podcast. One of the strongest attributes of the film is just how un-PC it is, yet how Solondz navigates the tone so deftly as to give us reprehensible yeet very human characters. After all, aren’t we all just a bunch of perverted little weirdos ourselves behind closed doors? Also discussed on the pod, Bad Dads, MILF Summer, and an ending that’ll blow your socks off (get it?). Though the everyday horrors persist, we (somehow) continue doing this depressing bit for the podcast! All this and more on this weeks episode of “I Didn’t Need to See That!”
