It's time to take a sentimental journey to the video store. Our first pic from the cult section is Gus Van Sant's game changing second film, Drugstore Cowboy (1989). Join me as I re-watch with the eyes of a world weary adult, vs the teenaged gaze I first cast on this black comedy about a gang of junkies who rob drug stores, because that's where the drugs are. What did kids internalize about heroin and glamor from stylish films such as this, and does this film pass the Truth & Beauty test? Will drugs kill you? Let's find out!

This Body Podcast is about bodies under pressure—our bodies, moving through culture. The show examines performance, the male gaze, Dark Hollywood stories, Los Angeles, and pop culture. It examines how power, ambition, and being watched shape the nervous system, and what it takes to step out of performance and back into the body.
