105: A PhD in Sexual Innuendo, Also Taco Sausage: The Half of It

We are stretching into our month of movie Growing Pains and our next selection is The Half of It. It stars Ellie Chu, played by Leah Lewis, a smart, quiet, immigrant, high school student that is struggling to keep her family afloat. Out of desperation she accepts money from Paul Munsky, played by Daniel Diemer in exchange for writing a love letter to his crush Aster Flores, played by Alexxis Lemire. This gives them both much more than they bargained for. In this episode: we find the most ODK phrase ever uttered in a movie, discuss ghost hunting with cat toys and contemplate why you'd choose Diego Rivera over Frida Khalo as your handle. This movie is a literal sausage fest (the tasty kind you eat) and we are here for it, we hope you are too and join us as we explore The Half of It.
