Ep 227: Joe Swanberg Returns

[powerpress]

Filmmaker Joe Swanberg (Drinking Buddies) returns to the podcast for his third visit to discuss his latest film, Happy Christmas. The comedy starring Swanberg, Ann Kendrick, Melanie Linskey & Lena Dunham, is currently available on demand and begins its theatrical ripple Friday, July 25th. The synopsis: when Jenny (Kendrick), a hard-partying 20-something, moves in with her film director brother (Swanberg), his wife Kelly (Lynskey), a budding novelist, and their two-year-old son after a break up, the family’s idyllic life is shaken up. Jenny begins a rocky relationship with a baby sitter-cum-pot dealer (Mark Webber) and she and a friend Carson (Dunham) team up to try and help Kelly find balance in her life.
