I break a couple of hard fast rules of mine for Steve Zahn because it's his 3rd time on the podcast and we're in a groove. And he's in London. Also, I'm obsessed with season one of The White Lotus and must discuss it with him, as well as share my honest thoughts on where the series went from there.  Find out which rules I broke and why Sean Penn comes up twice in this talk. Then go find Steve's new film, SHE DANCES, starring Steve and his daugher Audrey Zahn. Steve wrote it with his creative partner Rick Gomez and it also stars Steve's friend Ethan Hawke. It was recently at the Tribeca Film Festival and it's a beautiful film.

From The White Lotus, Reality Bites, and Happy, Texas to War for the Planet of the Apes and Diary of Wimpy Kid, Steve Zahn is celebrated for his ability to bring nuance, empathy, and authenticity to a wide range of characters - qualities that also mark the performances in Michael Cimino's 1978 The Deer Hunter. Starring Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, and John Savage, with John Cazale and Meryl Streep in supporting roles, the film offers a naturalistic depiction of working class life in 1970s America.With an estimated 50+ viewings to date, Steve has thought A LOT about this film. With Cooper and Tabitha, he unpacks The Deer Hunter's complex interplay of community, friendship, trauma, and war within the Vietnam era. We learn about his first cassette tape purchase, the draw of military history, the power of song to express what speech cannot, and why he insists that his own kids pay attention to the movies.

This week, the girlies are joined by writer, cultural critic, and internet princess Rayne Fisher-Quann for a bonus follow-up to our literacy episode. We unpack Rayne's recent essay on “poser ethics” and ask: is pretending to have read Dostoevsky really that bad? Are there different kinds of reading, and is one better than the other? Have we fully reckoned with the cultural impact of a generation of men raised on Diary of a Wimpy Kid? Digressions include everyday activities that bring us closer to lead poisoning, a crucial Nerds Gummy Cluster taste test, and a deep dive into our personal neuroses.

Have you considered quitting therapy? Well, it might actually be a great idea. In this episode, we explore the idea that therapy isn't necessarily a lifelong commitment but rather a dynamic tool to be used when needed. We debate constant introspection may do more harm than good, questioning the fine line between healthy self-awareness and potentially damaging over-analysis. We chat with our friend, Karan Brar, to explore the motivations behind self-reflection, investigating whether it serves as a genuine quest for personal growth or merely as a coping mechanism to navigate the psychological intricacies surrounding the fear of being perceived as flawed, examining societal pressures and the internal narratives that drive this apprehension.
