Description: Paolo and Carrie are joined by writer/production design/artisan Jeff Chaney to discuss a triple feature of short films: Possibly in Michigan (1983, Cecelia Condit), He Was Once (1989, Mary Hestand), and Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987, Todd Haynes).

Another great episode, great analysis.  I've been obsessed with Superstar for ages, but was unfamiliar with the other two.  Thank you!

And it made perfect sense to link these three films.

not as good as the other one but i still can't stop laughing
