Episode 41 - Juno

Quirks do not a personality make. And yet, in 2007, JUNO was showered with Oscars nominations, glowing reviews and the kind of box office every indie movie dreams of. Join Alex, Julio and special guest Reid Lansford (from the Other Worlds Austin Sci-Fi Film Festival) as they wade through all the uniqueness and honest-to-blogness and try to debunk the myth that Juno McGuff is such a cool girl. Are Soupy Sales references too niche? Are Suspiria references not hip enough? And what drugs was Rainn Wilson on when they shot his scene?
