S01E06: Boyhood

    Ethan and Talia discuss Richard Linklater’s 2014 film Boyhood. On a melancholy sense of mortality from watching actors age – and the emotional experience of the lead actor watching the film for the first time with their parents; and how the scenes of peril in Boyhood are the opposite of the BBC show Casualty.
