Show Notes
Dee Rees's first feature, 2011's PARIAH, is a groundbreaking work of queer cinema and an inspiration for director Olivia Peace's own debut film, TAHARA (which premiered at Slamdance in 2020). They first watched it back in high school; so how does it hit different 11 years later? Then, we answer the HOTLINE and consider movie premises that didn't live up to the their promise...s.
