Science Fiction, Double Feature

The sound’s not the best on this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, but the conversation is one of my favorites.

Last month, I sat down in London with comedian, writer and newly minted TV star Mae Martin, whose six-episode dramedy Feel Good premieres later this week and is one of the year’s best shows. She’s a Canadian comedy nerd, which is delightful, but she’s also a whip-smart stand-up, which means she’s a perfect podcast guest.

Also, she wanted to talk about The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a 45-year-old movie that’s weirdly suited to the current cultural moment — it’s even about people self-isolating, sort of! — and which turned out to be a great spingboard for one of those wide-ranging conversations that I love so much. Just hang on and trust that we’ll stick the landing.
