#5 Bobbi Jene, Time, We Are Your Friends & Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
No guests, no rules. 2 narrative films, 2 documentary films, all coincidentally released within the last 5 years!
Rob chose the Zac Efron-starring DJ drama We Are Your Friends (Max Joseph, 2015) and Elvira Lind's 2017 documentary Bobbi Jene.
Megan chose the mockdoc Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (Akiva Schaffer & Jorma Taccone, 2016) and Garrett Bradley's 2020 documentary Time.
Is Bobbi Jene Smith's struggle for creative control a metaphor for the simultaneous creativity and restriction we are all feeling in this pandemic? Do Megan and Rob know what EDM stands for? How many times will Megan bring up grinding?
