    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Blues guitar solos heard throughout were composed and played by Marc Maron. He said in an interview that at the end of every episode of his podcast WTF with Marc Maron, he does these guitar noodles and has hundreds of them stored away. Lynn Shelton didn't have the budget to hire a composer, so Maron let her choose and use selections she felt fit certain scenes.

    Not a comic book movie, thank goodness!
    If you ever listen to Marc Maron's podcast, WTF, this is a movie you won't want to miss. Also for fans of the Netflix series Glow, you're already familiar with Marc's accessible, honest work on the little screen. Don't believe any of the negative reviews for this film. Marc's performance is a tour-de-force, just check out the New York Times review of this original masterpiece. It's a quirky comedy, perfect for summer. Expertly directed with a wonderful tone, the film is worth watching twice, at least. Come on people, do we all just need to keep seeing pre-awareness content out of the Marvel universe which is sucking the life force and brain cells from us all? Rally around original movies that feature real talent and genuine craftsmanship. Also Marc plays all the guitar on the soundtrack and it's nice to hear.
