We had our fun last episode, but it's time to get back to business as usual: watching over dramatic teens make questionable life decisions. Today, Maren and Martha discuss the 2020 Amazon Prime original, Chemical Hearts, based off the novel Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland. Written and directed by Richard Tanne, and starring Lili Reinhart and Austin Abrams.

Insert plot of every Young Adult story here.

As a kid, Richard Tanne was rewarded for good behavior with a movie on the weekend. He quickly developed a love for Tim Burton films, then short stories, then plays, but the entire time, he knew he wanted to one day become a filmmaker. In this interview, Tanne discusses his first two features, Southside With You, about when the Obamas met in 1989 Chicago, and his latest film, Chemical Hearts, a high school romance built around pain and mortality. In this interview, the writer-director discusses dialogue-driven screenplays, why everyone should write a play or contained thriller, how to remove variables in the screenplay, and what it means to follow your inner compass as a creative.

The result is a teenage love story for introverts.In the film, based on a novel by Krystal Sutherland, a high school senior named Henry (played by Austin Abrams) is assigned to edit the school paper with a new student named Grace (Reinhart), who walks with a cane, dresses in typically male clothing, and doesn't like to talk about her past. They gain each other's trust slowly, in silences as much as through words. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Can you believe it fam? It’s been a year. In their first anniversary episode, the Hotties take time to reflect on the things they’ve learned so far on their ~podcast journey~ [2:08]. Caution fronds – here there be feelings. Then they chat about Richard Tanne’s impossibly charming Southside With You [16:24]. Docket items include the uniqueness of the Obama’s, the planes of Parker Sawyer’s face, and Google’s mistaken beliefs about what constitutes a black love film. Next up, a pivot to the theatre: Anna Deavere Smith did a one-woman show about the school-to-prison pipeline and the Hotties have opinions (and hella emotions) to share [30:11]. And as usual, CT and KW have a veritable cornucopia of culture for your involvement [50:53]. Join them, won’t you? You know the drill – it wouldn’t be UBH if there weren’t swearing and the N word.

Cinema Royale's Travis Hopson had a chance to sit down with Parker Sawyers and Tika Sumpter, who had the unenviable task of playing the Obamas, to talk with them and Tanne about the pressures of telling this story.
