Danielle Lessovitz stops by the pod to talk about Port Authority, her new feature film that just premiered at Cannes Film Festival (Un\xa0Certain Regard). A complex love story set in New York\u2019s Kiki ballroom scene, Port Authority stars Leyna Bloom, the first trans actress of color in a Cannes selection. The episode gets personal as we discuss falling in love, waiting at train stations and class conflict; Jenny reads from \u201cA Lover\u2019s Discourse\u201d and Yelena embodies \u201cJune gloom\u201d.
Bonus: Our take on \u201cWomen are happier without children or a spouse, says happiness expert\u201d
