We're diving into one another's heads to explore the romance of Spike Jonze's 1999 genre-defying hit Being John Malkovich ! Join in as we discuss the 7 1/2th floor, the script's sparse character descriptions, the movie's exploration of gender and sexuality, and our own experiences with Malkovich. Plus: Does Malkovich ever sleep? How are they retrieving their clients in New Jersey? What's Maxine's job? And, most importantly, why couldn't it be Being Tom Cruise ? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!
