62 - John Yearley - Station Eleven
14/03/2022 Duração: 01h43minIn this week’s episode of Out of Curiosity with kt mather, I talk with playwright and teacher, John Yearley about trusting the creative process, internet friends, new words for pandemic things, how slide-tackling is like acting, half time talks, come from behind wins, jobs that get you custom bobble-heads, the stages of grief…and then a deep dive into the amazing TV show Station Eleven. This episode, like all the others, is chock-full of spoilers, so do yourself a favor and watch the show!

61 - Melissa Rohde-Cherullo - Mr. Mom
31/01/2022 Duração: 02h10minMelissa and I talk pandemic parenting, how corporate leaders cope with stress, the second shift, the two income trap, intergenerational child-care, and then a deep dive into the 80s comedy classic, Mr. Mom—which holds up surprisingly well, although there is a “the boss is going to sexually assault the woman newly reintroduced into the workforce” plot-point that was such a staple of 80s plots (and real life!), but is so jarring these days.

60 - Julie Salamon - Gone With the Wind
13/12/2021 Duração: 02h15minJulie and I talk about eccentric geniuses, being too ignorant to be intimidated, becoming a lawyer to become a writer, when your journalistic sources show up at the birth of your child, embedding in film productions, and how an indefensible movie helped save at least one woman's life. Then we take a deep dive into said indefensible movie, Gone with the Wind (not to be watched without multiple secondary texts for context).

CB 19 - Bill Tanner - Silence of the Lambs
01/11/2021 Duração: 01h47minBill and I discuss...honestly, I can't remember what we discuss because I edited this awhile ago and Bill and I text and talk a lot and it's all a big jumbled mess... I do remember that we take a deep dive into the classic thriller, Silence of the Lambs, and discuss, among other things, that when it comes to learning about how not to other--we are all Jack Crawford. Also, I do a fair number of impressions, so...

CB19 - Michael Rohde - To Build a Fire

And then a deep dive into Jack London's classic tale of a man, a dog, and the freezing Yukon...

CB18 - Nicole Valentine - My Octopus Teacher
26/04/2021 Duração: 01h53minIn this episode, Nicole and I talk pandemic, politics, the revivifying effects of nature and take a deep dive into the documentary My Octopus Teacher. I have an EXTREME opinion (I know, weird, that's not like me) about the documentarian's decision NOT to "interfere" with the octopus' life at one point and you'll have to let me know if you agree with him or me. This was also recorded in December 2020 before the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol, so I guess I was wrong when I told Nicole that I didn't think our divided nation had much farther to fall...

We talk about Molly’s impending furniture flipping turf war and what she’s doing to try to make it in comedy. Then we take a deep dive into the charming coming-of-age movie, The Way Way Back.

53 - Jess Welsch - Juno
01/03/2021 Duração: 01h22minIn this episode of Out of Curiosity with kt mather, Jess Welsch and I time warp to a YEAR ago almost to the day because that’s how long I haven’t been editing this episode. We talk about parenting in a small town vs parenting at monkey doo (basically an indoor gym / McDonald’s play land hellscape that I'm probs gonna tell the kids closed permanently...), how my dog got her name, how Jess’ eventual next dog will get its name, referring to unborn babies as “it”, and whether or not Michael Cera’s character in Juno owes Juno both a specific act of f*cking solidarity AND an apology...

01/02/2021 Duração: 02h35minOnce again, the weirdness of boarding schools, the connection between med schools and Patagonia, how to choose what name to use post marriage, the process of choosing and being chosen for med school residencies, and what it’s like to be a full-scholarship kid at boarding school. Eventually we finally get to talk about Mrs. Maisel and we cover favorite characters, how characters change (and don’t change) over the seasons, Maisel vs. Fleabag, thoughts on pelvic health (eg. IUDs and synthetic hormones), and ultimately, the indestructible uterus!

CB15 - Lisa Knight - The Queen's Gambit
04/01/2021 Duração: 01h25minToday on out of curiosity with kt mather, I circle back with my old friend Lisa Knight who was also with us for the episode about Chernobyl. On this episode, Lisa and I talk about the smash hit the queen’s gambit about a young woman crushing it in the male dominated world of competitive chess. Lisa and I talk about why she almost didn’t watch the show, what kind of porn it is, the ever-present threat of sexual assault, cool clothes, a couple of my favorite fiction tropes, and Lisa’s lasik eye surgery (don’t worry—not graphic). Correction: Forgot to note this in my intro, but at one point in the ep, I mention that this show was previously going to be made with "Ellen Page" as Beth. The ep was recorded before Elliot Page shared with the wider world that he is trans and his name is Elliot.
