On a returning HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we are stepping back behind the camera to look at a film directed by the man himself: 2005’s LONESOME JIM. Written by Jim Strouse and starring Casey Affleck as a depressed, failed novelist who returns to his Indiana hometown and connects with a local nurse (played by Liv Tyler), LONESOME JIM got a bit lost in the cavalcade of sad-sack dude movies in the mid 2000s, but is it worthy of discovery? Let’s find out.

Here’s the Steve Earle video for “City of Immigrants”, directed by Steve Buscemi

On Forgotten Gems we look at festival favorites that have been cast aside or fallen out of favor. On this episode we’re looking at the 1994 Sundance sensation WHAT HAPPENED WAS…, which won the Grand Jury Prize and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. Directed, written and starring Tom Noonan it examines one painfully awkward date between two co-workers (the other played by an amazing Karen Sillas) and the confrontations and revelations that occur throughout their evening. Spoiler alert: our two hosts have VERY differing opinions on the qualities of this movie! Check it out.

What Happened Was is currently streaming on The Criterion Channel.
