Switch / Go Fish (Feat. Actor-Screenwriter Guinevere Turner) Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

How did the Blake Edwards 1991 body-swap comedy SWITCH inspire Rose Troche's groundbreaking 1994 lesbian indie rom-com GO FISH? The latter film's star and co-writer, filmmaker and producer Guinevere Turner, joins us with an answer that might surprise you. (We also discuss Vincente Minnelli's 1964 GOODBYE CHARLIE, the uncredited inspiration for SWITCH.) We'll be back next week with one final episode, and it's gonna be a doozy!
