On today’s episode we are joined by Lynn Harris, an award-winning journalist/novelist and founder of GOLD Comedy, to discuss My Old Ass, written and directed by Megan Park and starring Aubrey Plaza. In this coming-of-age comedy drama film, an 18th-birthday mushroom trip brings Elliott (played by Maisy Stella) face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self.
All our old asses loved this film! We chat about our favorite emotional and funny moments; the lessons both women learn about family, love and identity; the gorgeous Canadian setting (cranberries and boats for the win!); the brilliant touch of magical realism; and the creative vision behind the film, Megan Park.
