Movie Discussion of "Here" (2024)

July 9, 2025·1 hr 35 min·10 clips

Steve Barnes opens the conversation by welcoming Lindsay Dunn to a discussion of Here (2024). They bring the reason for the episode into the banter right away, asking why this movie was chosen in the first place. Lindsay says she had meant to watch it, saw it on a list of films to consider for awards, and then let it sit until it showed up on Netflix. She also points out that the film's central idea made it a fit for Steve, who likes movies about time. From there, the talk moves into the film's one-space-through-time setup and what that structure does to the viewing experience. The discussion then wanders into the film's historical material, especially Benjamin Franklin and William Franklin, along with the family tension and political disagreement between them. At one point they pause to think through whether the language around William Franklin is the right way to say it, compare terms, and revise what they just said as they go. The conversation stays informal and light even when it gets into history. They treat the movie as something to unpack together rather than something to lock down with final answers, which gives the episode a relaxed, fan-to-fan feel. It also means the talk sometimes takes a side road before coming back to the film, and those side roads are part of the texture. The hosts joke, speculate, and work through details aloud instead of smoothing them over. There is a sense that they are enjoying the process of figuring the movie out in real time. Lindsay's interest in awards-season context and Steve's interest in time-related stories both shape the route into the discussion, so the episode stays grounded in taste as much as recap. When they land on specific scenes and historical references, they do it with curiosity more than certainty. The tone stays warm and lightly teasing throughout. Even when they correct each other, it feels like friendly calibration rather than argument. The episode closes by pointing listeners toward each host's other work and leaves the conversation on an easy, familiar note. It is the kind of film discussion that gives tone, memory, and tangent as much room as summary.

As heard by us

A relaxed Here discussion that favors personality over polish and keeps taking side roads.

Steve Barnes and Lindsay Dunn turn Here (2024) into a loose, easygoing film conversation. It starts from a simple question, why this movie, and why now?, then keeps folding back on itself with friendly pushback and a few self-corrections.
