In "Reel Friends, No Borders", Joanna Smith and Sean Volk chat about movies and tv, surprise each other with questions and engage in some serious international friendship. Some helpful context: Joanna (a Canadian) and Sean (an American) met in the Film Studies grad program at Western University in London, Ontario. She wrote about explicit sex, he studied monsters and they became fast friends. Now separated by hundreds of miles (or kilometers for our non-US listener), the pals close the gap with fancy microphones and fun banter. Come for the movies, stay for the friendship!
