5.6 The Usual
Manage episode 230340313 series 2291135
Season Five:
This season I go back to my roots, and share some stories recorded in-studio. You’ll get one story per episode, along with a return of Paul’s Picks, where I share something I’ve been reading, watching, or listening to.
The Story:
Sometimes when you walk down a quiet street, you never know what could happen. This is a story about where someone asked me to do something I don’t know how to do, and I just rolled with it.
Paul’s Pick:
I used to see a movie in a theatre once a week. I went by alone and it was my little treat to myself. Although I don’t often go to the theatre much anymore, there is a power to it. Sitting in the dark with strangers and experiencing something collectively.
Some movies were so important to me that I remember which theatre and where I was sitting. Children of Men was one of those movies. It’s a powerful movie. I walked out of that theatre wondering what in the hell I just saw. I was hesitant to watch it recently, out of a fear that it wouldn’t hold up. If anything, the movie is even more relevant than when it came out.
I became quite smitten with the director, Alfonso Cuaron, and quickly watched all his other movies. When I heard about his latest, Roma, I knew that was a movie I’d like to see in the theatre. In very different ways, Roma was just as powerful. More subtle. Understated, sure. But it really was unlike anything I had seen in a while.
