My second interview episode with Matt, my other best friend, where we discuss his favorite romantic film: Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain (2006). We do a deep dive into the romantic grandeur of the film's visuals, its eclectic religious symbolism, and how the story has mirrored the losses in Matt's own life. Later in the episode, we talk about other pieces of media that informed Matt's romantic identity: the poetry of Iranian astronomer Omar Khayyam, his favorite love song on the Blue Crush soundtrack, and some sage advice on marriage that he received during a surreal 3 am encounter with Alec Baldwin at a diner in West LA.
