About this episode
This week we are joined by friend of the show Alexa, from Cut Off The Spigot, to discuss 1999's "Being John Malkovich" directed by Spike Jonze and starring John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener, Orson Bean, and of course, John Malkovich. We discuss one of our favorite topics, alienation, how chimpanzees should not be kept as pets, and the way in which this system makes people incapable of knowing themselves or being comfortable in their own bodies.
