QUG #135. Life Itself (2018)

A rich ensemble of characters can’t begin to fathom how their lives will intersect in Dan Fogelman’s beautiful discussion of life, love, death, loss, and the unreliable narrator. Joe welcomes first time guest Julio Olivera from The Contrarians Podcast to talk all things Life Itself. The guys get into tear-jerker moments, Fogelman’s filmography, saying goodbye to our pets, teenage angst, pride, heroes and villains, making subtext text, failing to persevere, the butterfly effect, Sam Jackson hijinks, coping, a Tarantino influence, red flag monologues, April fools, and colonizing.
