It sounds like you have either a wonderful psychiatrist or a terrible psychiatrist.

You could do the good movie 'Moon' and talk about how we've possibly misjudged Kevin Spacey.

They coukd talk about how when he dresses up like a british bobby and then slams his helmet down and yells that hes not a real cop he was making an oblique reference to how gene roddenbury sold his star trek script.

My name is Fred irl.and at my last psychiatrist appointment my doctor opened by asking me 'hey have you seen freddy got fingered?' and then started doing the daddy would you like some sausage bit and i felt like I was having a psychotic break.

Love the show, thanks for this! Loose fit, but it'd be great to hear you and an esteemed guest talk about Freddy Got Fingered.

Not a Wilder expert, but do recommend checking out Five Graves to Cairo and Witness for the Prosecution. Good movies

In the topic of movies whose main character and narrator is already dead at the beginning of the film I can not reccomend Oldritch Lipsky's Happy End enough, its a czech new wave film from the 60s that plays entirely in reverse and the main character narrates the story of his life as though it was happening in that order. Its insanely funny, the opening shot is the guys head in a basket and he says something like 'when i was born i was just a head in a basket, but then the townspeople attached my head to my body, and then the head flies out of the basket onto a body in a guillotine and the guillotine goes up and everhone is cheering. There is a zoo scene that has one of the funniest jokes Ive ever seen on film. Its a GREAT movie.

David, a good man.

I absolutely love this show. Sunset Blvd is one of my favourite movies ever, Sean Clements is obviously one of the two best Boys in the world... Life is good sometimes.
