How Go The Dances?: ‘Frances Ha’ (2012) with Maggie Hill

The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast Episode 53

Emilio, Madeline, and Julian are joined again by freshly-minted New Yorker Maggie Hill, who helps them kick off a new episode cycle focusing on New York City movies. They begin with a "View-nanimous" entry on “Frances Ha”, Noah Baumbach’s 2012 film co-written by him and the film’s star, Greta Gerwig. The four New York residents praise the many accuracies of the film and share their own NYC-specific stories about living as artists, navigating complex social situations, and searching for an ATM with no fee. They also discuss the other “coming-of-age in NYC” media from the zeitgeist of the 2010s, and consider what has changed in the 13 years since this film was released.
