Dave & Jess are back with another episode, this time watching Self Reliance (2023) on Hulu, which they paired with a Pickle Margarita. Self Reliance is the writing and directorial debut of Jake Johnson - does his charm extend to behind the camera, or should he stick to acting?
The couple discuss the movie, and their thoughts on Jake Johnson the actor lead to a discussion of their favorite Spider-Men, whether the lead female character is a Manic-Pixie-Dream-Girl? (and is that term appropriate to use?). Dave dips into his screenwriting past to educate Jess on the book Save the Cat, and why it's relevant to the movie, and Jess has her mind blown after doing a deep dive into the etymology of the Super Mario Bros.
And the pickle margarita may seem like an odd combination, but Dave assures you it works surprisingly well as a cocktail.
Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoyed the episode. Please take time to rate the show wherever you listen to your podcasts and follow us on Instagram at DateNightInPodcast. We welcome feedback, suggestions, and cocktail recipes at DateNightInPodcast@gmail.com.
