‘Twister’ with ‘Yes, God, Yes’ Director Karen Maine

This week we have the joy of discussing a true classic film with a phenomenally talented writer and director. We are joined by the co-writer of the Jenny Slate film Obvious Child and the writer/director of the recently released Yes, God, Yes, Karen Maine. She’s on the show to discuss Jan de Bont’s perfect film, Twister. Karen elaborates on her particular attachment to this film and how it is tied to her Iowa roots. She also talks about her new film Yes, God, Yes starring Stranger Things’ Natalie Dyer and the inspiration behind her story about a young Catholic Schoolgirl navigating her sexual awakening at a religious retreat. Not only that, but Karen also discusses her admiration for Helen Hunt’s perfectly quaffed 90’s hair. And, she talks mad shit about Jan de Bont, but in the most loving way possible.Please consider financially supporting our show by becoming a Maximum Fun member at Maximumfun.org/joinYou can watch Yes, God, Yes on VOD now.And if you haven’t seen Twister yet, then you are a pervert.With April Wolfe and Karen Maine.
