In this episode of the show we are joined by two great guests, Hillary and Tony, to talk about Permanent Midnight, the first of four conversations about Ben Stiller movies from 1998. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the way this movie handles the theme of addiction, how it could have leaned into one of its potentially interesting thematic ideas and how its brisk format perhaps undoes a lot of its power. We also talk about the movie’s contentious framing device, the nuances of Ben Stiller’s performances and whether this movie was ghost-directed by Bob Zemeckis.

Tune in and enjoy!
