This week on the show, we explore the curious trend of summer high school movies developing cancer — why are so many YA summer releases designed to make us cry? Who’s up for a triple feature of Paper Towns, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The Fault in Our Stars?
Plus, Geoff offers a control-based hypothesis for why book fans have produced a loud backlash to Game of Thrones this season.
And our special interview this week is with John Cusack. Jack Giroux speaks to the veteran actor about playing Beach Boy genius Brian Wilson in Love and Mercy.
You should follow Jack Giroux (@jackgi), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.
