Why would somebody fake cancer?
I'm Millie DiCerico. I'm a film programmer, historian, and writer.
And now we're teaming up on a brand new podcast called Dear Movies, I Love You.
Each week, Casey and I will have heated debates, give flawless recommendations, and talk about what's going on in cinema. Dear Movies, I Love You on Exactly Right is available right now. Listen every Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, you know, I think I'm gonna get deep, perhaps a little deeper than Casey's just revealed. I personally, when I was, I'm kidding. You're not the himbo of the podcast, by the way, you're fine. You're not a film himbo, as I've heard in the past.
I really, I think over the past couple years, especially during COVID, especially during, I don't know, just like living and life and bad news and, you know, things happening in the world, I started really thinking about like my relationship to movies because, you know, as a person who like lives alone and, you know, a lot of
and has worked in movies for over 20 years, I started thinking about, do I have an emotional relationship with movies? Of course they're entertaining, of course it's my job, of course it's an intellectual pursuit, I guess. But what's my emotional relationship to it? Do they do things for me? Are they my comfort? Are they my partner, for crying out loud? I mean, honestly.
And I started thinking about it in that way where I was like, I don't know, I think they are. It's the one thing that has consistently stayed in my life that has been my refuge from all the bullshit, right? And there's some kind of, I don't know, I have this like,
you know, deep feeling of appreciation for like what the art form, I guess, if you want to call it that has done for my life in that emotional kind of way. And so that's why I think when we were like, how, what's the vibe? You know, I was like, I don't know. We just love movies. We're like in love with movies. We, we, we like have crushes on movies.
And Casey like immediately was like, of course, like I get it, you know? And so I don't know. I think that that's, Sort of, I think what the podcast is also about is it's about sort of like being in love with this wacky world that we're in and, you know, just sort of, I don't know, like being very earnest and sincere about it, so.
Yeah. There's also like an episode that we have coming up that I really love because it, we're talking about a movie that Casey is extremely passionate about. And it was like a movie, like basically that his, the movie that radicalized him, that made him a film person, quote unquote, And it was a movie that I had a very different opinion on.
And we talk all that out in a way that I think is really cool. Just because there was something that he loves and connects with that didn't really...
get me in the same way i was so like interested in just hearing him talk about it and hearing his relationship with it and sort of like what he liked about it and i don't know i mean i feel like that is something that that our podcast is doing and will do really well is just having that mutual respect for each other's taste i mean honestly like and that's something that i think i
is a thing that makes film people so annoying or intimidating is that you have, like I said, the wrong taste. You have bad taste. You don't like the right things. And I don't really see it that way ever. I don't ever see people having that. I would rather listen and be fascinated by your passion for something than... just shitting on you for liking a movie I don't like. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I love that.
Oh God, I got to pull out my phone. Letterboxd.
I got to be legit.
I watched a movie last night in the past. So it's been the past 24 hours. I watched this movie called Better Man. Have you heard of this movie?
It is the Robbie Williams animatronic monkey. Where he's a monkey? Yes. What? Actually, it's not animatronic. It's like weird CGI, right? Yeah. Yeah. That movie to me was so much better than it had any right to be. I don't know why. I was like expecting to go with it being like, this is going to be one of the most genuinely bizarre, like weird outsider art things of our generation.
And I was like, it's actually kind of good, like legit good.
