About this episode

Guest host Jordan Carlos is filling in for Michelle this week – and he’s got some BIG opinions on weather gear. He is joined by comedian and filmmaker Bo Burnham for a thoughtful conversation about his upcoming movie Eighth Grade and how the youth of America are being influenced by people in Silicon Valley who have no idea what they are doing. Our stage is also graced by icon John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) who is just an absolute f**king delight. He educates Jordan on punks, tomatoes, and his new film How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Plus, Rob Lewis gives some really, really primo relationship advice.
