Paul and Corey Cross the Streams is a bi-monthly podcast in which hosts Paul Pakler and Corey Pepper watch and review streaming content. It’s the Great American Podcast where two friends learn about life as they float down the river of streaming services.

This month, Paul and Corey decided to expand their horizons a bit and talk about Animation: a style of filmmaking they don’t generally watch for good and ill. This time, Corey chose a stop-motion project written and co-directed by Charlie Kaufman – Anomalisa (2015). Adapted from a play(!) he’d written, Anomalisa is the simple story of a man flying into Cincinnati for a business conference but quickly escalates into an examination of loneliness, desire, alienation, fantasies, and mental illness. There’s a lot to discuss in this one!
