Shownotes

Long before Celine Song was nominated for an Academy Award for her feature directorial debut, Past Lives, she was a struggling playwright in New York City with an unusual side hustle: matchmaking.
In this special episode presented by Death, Sex & Money (slate.com/podcasts/death-sex-money), host Anna Sale sits with Celine to unpack how this personal experience inspired the plot of her new A24 movie, Materialists (a24films.com/films/materialists), starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal.
