Ep1203: Love, Hope & Chair-ity An Interview with BY DESIGN Writer/Director Amanda Kramer

Amanda Kramer's By Design is far more than "the movie where Juliette Lewis turns into a chair". It's a surreal slice of cultural critique that looks at frivolous spending, shallow friendships, and the dark side of female friendships. In this brief interview, Ian talks with Kramer about casting 90s rebel icons as people their characters would have despised; finding a new angle on "wish" movies; and working with the great Udo Kier in one of his final roles! By Design opens in theaters this Friday, courtesy of Music Box Films. Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon ,
