I wrote a hit play! And I'm in love with you!

No one depicts a high powered dweeb experiencing the agony of identity dysphoria and unrequited love better than Wes Anderson himself. So this week, we analyze another coming of age film whose beloved and complex protagonist is in crisis. 

We'll explore the ways in which we see ourselves in Rushmore’s leading man, Max Fischer, in all his glory, absurdism, wisdom, naivete, and painfully relevant flaws. 

It's love, it's loss, it's belonging, it's drama. I wrote a hit play! And I'm in love with you!

Topics included: Day hikes not illuminating a sense of purpose, utilizing the confidence of a 6’2 white man, Freudian complexes (reprise), unleashing bees as revenge, trying to build an aquarium for someone who doesn’t love you and then getting expelled

This week Doing It Wrong is donating to Food Bank of the Rockies which distributes 2 million pounds of food to those in need each week. According to a study done by Denver University in 2019, 1 in 6 Denver households experience food insecurity or hunger and that number is rising due to the pandemic.
