Returning guest, writer and podcaster, Dan Stalcup, is back to talk about the HBO show Enlightened, written and produced by the great Mike White and starring Laura Dern, Luke Wilson, Diane Ladd, Sarah Burns, Timm Sharp and Mike White himself. Laura Dern as Amy returns from rehab to her corporate job, fired up to share her newly-discovered spiritual enlightenment with the world only to discover the world is not quite ready for her. This endearing comedy drama explores the complexity of humans, especially those who are seeking meaning in their small-ish lives, and how their explorations backfire, self-destruct, and embarrass us while also eventually becoming relatable and sympathetic. A heart-warming episode.Dan's podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-goods-a-film-podcast/id1534000134Dan's website:https://earnthis.net/Thoughts? Comments? Potshots?
