We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24's films. On this episode we are looking at 2014's Laggies directed by Lynn Shelton. The film stars Kiera Knightly as a woman who faces a quarter century crisis and runs away from her life to stay with a high schooler played by Chloë Grace Moretz. Joining the show is Kattie Laur and Mark Allin, Kattie is a writer for Pod the North and producer on Alpaca My Bags while Mark is a musician and host of former movie podcast Videophilia. 
Our double bill pairings include Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (Dakota), Hook (Rachel), Booksmart (Kattie) and Your Sister's Sister (Mark). Check out the ongoing Letterboxd list of all our pairings.
