In the second half of our episode, we spend some time with Singles, from 1992 and directed by Cameron Crowe. This film is about the lives and loves of a half-dozen young adults, most of whom live in the same apartment complex. But, of course, this has nothing to do with the NBC hit comedy Friends, which ran from 1994 to 2004. Cameron Crowe himself has said that he was approached about adapting Singles to a TV series but he turned the studio down; only a few months later, Friends gets the green light. Crazy coincidence, or what? You be the judge!
COMING ATTRACTIONS:
During the next batch of episodes, we'll be taking you around the world. And we start by going south of the border, down Mexico way. We'll be looking at Y tu mamá también, and then Roma, both directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Despite both films having the same director, we're getting a pair of very different stories. Join us, won't you?
