DD 37: ‘You don’t have to feel like shit, she says. She’s right about this, too. I’ve been rolled into a ball for too long. She leans over and tells me about a fish at the bottom of the ocean with a translucent body, organs entirely visible. My father used to surf, I say.’

‘I’m a dumb dog chasing what’s thrown away from me. Panting, seeing over a slinky pink tongue. I want it to be you. The woman in moonlight. The coffee kiss. The nearest anyone could be.’

Pursuit (2022)

We’ll we’re here, 2022’s Pursuit. As of the publishing of this episode, this is the last film in John Cusack’s filmography. We originally started this podcast “About John Cusack” but in reality John was just a jumping off point for two best friends to meet up every week to talk about art and just hang out. At times the process was a slog, but never for a minute did it stop being fun. This podcast is by no means a “success” in the traditional sense. We’re still nobodies toiling away at our art, but I think this podcast is a reminder of the only skill either of us have and that’s our weird sense of seeing something through to the end, even if there are no immediate rewards visible. We’re in it for love. We always have been, always will. Spellabee Forever. Keep your heart in it.

Never Grow Old (2019)

We are joined this week by one of our oldest movie buddies and spiritual 3rd mic, James. We have a great conversation about a surprisingly competent late stage John movie, Never Grow Old. A “revisionist western” (whatever that means) from 2019 starring Emile Hirsch and John Cusack. While it’s thematically muddy, there is some real-deal filmmaking here and we’re happy we got to share the experience with our friend.

 

River Runs Red (2018)
