Bonus! - Greener Grass

Not everybody can be David Lynch and, arguably, most people shouldn’t even try. None of this stopped the improv troupe behind GREENER GRASS to follow their dreams and make a weird movie that makes fun of the shallowness of American suburbia… while being pretty shallow itself. Listen to Alex and Julio as they struggle to make sense of a film that almost proved to be Contrarian-proof!
