Rectangles Podcast
Film-loving partners Janackeh and Nick get together each week to riff on everything from cult classics and hidden-gem documentaries to current blockbusters and trending series. Their conversations blend sharp observations, easy humor, and the kind of back-and-forth you’d hear from friends arguing over the remote.

Ep.8 The Rectangles That Raised Us
For the 30th anniversary of Larry Clark’s KIDS, we take a hard look at the film that shook skateboarding and youth culture in the mid-90s. We pair it with the documentary We Were Once Kids, digging into its raw relevance to skateboarding and the darker aftermath for stars Harold Hunter and Justin Pierce. We talk about exploitation by Clark and, to a lesser degree, screenwriter Harmony Korine and weigh how much responsibility they hold for the fallout. Beyond the film’s gritty reputation, we explore its complicated legacy, the culture it reflected, and the reactions that still ripple today.
