Episode #420: 'Twinless' with Bryan Fuller

Director/star James Sweeney’s sophomore follow-up to Straight Up made a spalsh at Sundance this January, winning the Audience Award and a lot of buzz about Dylan O’Brien’s dual roles as twins Roman and Rocky. Director and writer Bryan Fuller, whose feature debut DUST BUNNY (youtube.com/watch?v=bGJh5CttAy4) recently premiered at TIFF, joins us to see what all the fuss is about. Then we share some of our favorite dark comedies.
What’s Good
Alonso - Hobnobs (and Hobnob Fever!)
Drea - Competitive nonsense (windowdressing, bedmaking, etc)
Bryan - a murder of yard crows
Kevin - no more wasps
