Cooler Than Homework #021 – The Other Me & Staying At Home (yes, really)

Previously: 392 days of March ago we watched Quints and talked about art stuff.

Sweeney: 2021 might be telling 2020 to hold its beer, but we are still forging ahead with our triumphant* return to posting.

*by “triumphant” I mean “haggard, exhausted, surviving not thriving”

Anyway, here is an episode that we recorded in October 2020. Fortunately, time has no meaning so it could have just as easily been recorded this week, save for the fact that we neglect to mention the attempted coup in our country. The Other Me is a story about a kid who clones himself and sends his clone to school and so he spends a good third of the movie staying at home which seemed fun at first and then he hates it. We did not plan this. This is the actual plot of this movie. So, you know, there was really only one choice for our discussion topic.

Please enjoy this content in which we talk about this movie’s unanswered ethical questions, the way we all agree this movie should have ended, and also the daytime soap opera Passions? Yeah, it’s a journey:

In her day job she's a producer, editor, director, and sometimes host of educational YouTube channels. She loves travel, maps, panda gifs, and semicolons. Writing biographies stresses her out; she crowd sourced this one years ago and has been using a version of it ever since. She would like to thank Twitter for their help.
