As writer and director Charlie Kaufman's newest film, Anomalisa, hits theaters, we turn to the screenplay that started all the weirdness—1999's Being John Malkovich. Does this strange tale about a puppeteer who discovers a portal into another man's head still hold up over a decade later? How did this film go on to influence the careers of both Kaufman and director Spike Jonze? And, perhaps the most important question of all, is there meaning behind the film's absurdist premise? Join David, Mike, and Ivan as they make a stop on the 7½th floor of the Mertin-Flemmer Building and do their best to find some answers. Be sure to subscribe via iTunes!
