I'm Thinking of Ending Things - A Lot of Shots Toward Emptiness

Sometimes, the best explanation is none at all.\n

This week, Don and Chuck do their best to explain I'm Thinking of Ending Things, a film written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, adapted from the book by Iain Reid. The film itself is intentionally challenging and often cryptic, but much like the empty space it creates around its characters, teems with meaning and ideas. The film gives Don and Chuck ample room to discuss hope, dementia, the benefits of a life well lived, Don's admiration for the way Chuck takes notes, and a whole lot more.
