Atlanta & CODA
Peter and Colter kick off the new format with a simple question, what piece of storytelling is meaningful to you right now? It’s a mouthful of a question but we specifically worded it this way to take the pressure off of trying to name your favorite X or the best Y. Sometimes you are in a moment where one piece of art is taking up all of your brain space. We all have those moments where something is our favorite thing at that moment even if it won’t be in a few years/months/weeks. With that being said this first episode in the new format is a two parter. Pete has the FX series "Atlanta" on the brain, and Colter's noggin is full of 2022 best picture winner "CODA".
