17. Summertime (Carlos López Estrada)

For my special birthday episode, I get us all to watch a movie where a bunch of teenagers break out into spontaneous poetry in Los Angeles. Except that, as usual, we spent more time oogling over Katie Mitchell’s Letterboxd (as you do) and the Space Jam website (IT’S STILL UP!!!) than being interested in what’s essentially the lighter and softer Magnolia. We’re California Dreamin’ on such a winter’s day again with Summertime! Intro song: mell-ø - Childhood Memories (w/ Ambulo) Outro song: SiIvaGunner - Happy Birthday (Level 1) (OST Version) Where to watch the movie: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/summertime-2020 (if not in the U.S. then set “Streaming in” to whatever country you’re in)
