On this hot September morning, come prepared for a hot take. Lydia finally watched an Important Film and, while acknowledging its craftsmanship, explains why she believes it's indulging the very problem it highlights.

Next film: Coyote vs ACME

This film is in theaters now. Please go support it. It's very funny and surprisingly heartfelt.
