I listen to this when I need zero stress. It’s light entertainment I can enjoy. But there is something deeper going on at the same time. These guys are very socially progressive and the older movies they review serve as a vehicle for astute social commentary without being emotionally heavy. It’s the unexpected back door to the enlightened view and for that reason, I wish more people were listening. Their commentary is supportive, informative and affirming. Bonus that Joe does a bit of a history review from the time the movie was released (more commentary opportunities). And the guest stars are really fun. Does This Still Work works because it identifies and names social patterns, relationship norms, ideas and ways of relating and often provides a sorely needed update without ever feeling like a lecture because they talk about movies!
