Totally loved this episode, you’ve been on a roll. If you’re in the mood for existential movies, I’ve been watching Theo Angelopolis this year and he’s been my great personal discovery.

For some reason on pocketcasts , where I listen to the pod, the title in the description is written as “Stranger than fiction” not “Strangers in Paradise”

In terms of movies where nothing much happens I’m a big fan of Alice in the Cities, i remember watching it and thinking “now I know what it was like to be bored in the 70s.”

I love the opening retreat to Göethe as a much needed respite. Thanks!

Dumb question. Where can I nominate a movie?

Not dumb at all! We do a monthly post on here, usually called something like "September Supderdelegate nomination caucus" and you can do so in the comments underneath. We'll soon be voting on the September nominees but the October nominations will open up before too long. - L

I enjoyed the discussion about boredom (unironically). I am never bored in the traditional sense these days, there are basically unlimited books and thousands of movies, TV shows and videogames I've been meaning to play so there's never a lack of stuff to do. The only time I'm bored is at work. But the kind of low-key agitation you described is like the new boredom and it's way worse in my opinion. I'm sure I'm just describing as phenomena that someone cleverer than me has already written about, but yeah.

Damn listened to that Ottawa plug too late. Next time!

Hey Will, I don't know if you've seen these films, but thought I just wanted to list some that fit your description, alongside The Passenger and Two Lane Blacktop, in case they might've passed you by: La Libertad (Alonso) Close Your Eyes (Erice) Lost in New York (Rollin) You Are Not I (Driver, shot by Jim Jarmusch) Radio On (Petit) Eden (Løve) The Old Dream That Moves (Guiraudie) Summer Hours (Assayas) The Loneliest Planet (Loktev)

I adore Love Two-Lane Blacktop. James Taylor as The Driver does a deadpan delivery of one of my favorites lines ever: “Make it three yards, motherfucker, and we'll have an auto-MO-bile race.” Also, don’t forget that The Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson played Jame’s Taylor’s companion The Mechanic. And of course Warren Oates was fantastic as GTO.

The Florida scenes were shot around Melbourne, about three hours or so by car north of Miami. It's not that far from Cape Canaveral, and a good base for a visit to the Space Centre. Fun fact: in January it's not all that warm up there, with highs averaging the low 20s C. You have to get to Palm Beach County and points south to enjoy 'endless summer'. As for Fort Lauderdale, I'm not sure about international flights in 1984, but it had started promoting itself heavily as a destination for international travellers by the mid-1990s, when I visited the airport there as part of a press trip around Florida destinations for British journalists. Never had any idea at that time that twenty-five years later I would move to just up the road, with the paperweight from my goody bag still on my desk.
