62 - John Yearley - Station Eleven
Out of Curiosity with kt mather
In 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
Out of Curiosity with kt mather
Melissa 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
Out of Curiosity with kt mather
Julie and I talk eccentric geniuses, when your journalistic sources show up at the birth of your child, and how an indefensible movie helped save at least one woman's life. We take a deep dive into said indefensible movie, Gone with the Wind (not to be watched without multiple secondary texts for context).

59 - David Scott Hay - RoboCop
Out of Curiosity with kt mather
DSH and I talk egg preference, chicken life, pandemic publishing (not recommended), book reviews, douchey agents, conflict vs. character in writing, the great comedy that is PEN15, and then a deep dive into the 80s classic, RoboCop (which was evidently SUCH good satire, that the director, Paul Verhoeven, almost passed on it...)

CB 19 - Bill Tanner - Silence of the Lambs
Out of Curiosity with kt mather
Bill 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
Out of Curiosity with kt mather
Michael and I talk about fishing on the hard water (aka, ice fishing), what happens when you fall through the ice, whether or not your iphone will pull your butt out of the frozen water, how tech difficulties are just like the story we read, plus an update on Michael's life as a quizzo host. 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
Out of Curiosity with kt mather
In 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 about the documentarian's decision NOT to "interfere" with octopus' life at one point and you'll have to let me know if you agree with him or me.
info_outlineWe talk Seattle vs Atlanta, the WTO protests 20 years later, sci-fi as a touchstone for what the world might be, her connections to the movie Rushmore, and a deep dive into genre-bending classic T2 Judgement Day.
