"Dear Lana, By the time you read this, I'll be back home in Lincoln... I'll be making a trip out on the highway before too long. I'll be waiting for ya. Love always and forever, Brandon."
While this is a difficult film. to watch it has been on my list since I started the podcast. Mainly because it features Chloe Sevingy's only Oscar nominated performance (which is crazy). I've got Charles and Mikey with me to discuss this tragic true story of the life of Brandon Teena in early 90s Nebraska as a trans-man.
We talk about some of the actors who were previously thought of for the roles, the difficult reception by Brandon's mother, and just why Hilary Swank's portrayal was beyond Oscar win worthy.
