In this episode of Parallel Frequencies, Just Blane and Coco take on "Feature Friday" with a deep dive into the raw and gritty film, Is This Thing On?. Directed by Bradley Cooper and starring Will Arnett and Laura Dern, the film is described as a "collision of Titans" that feels more like a "public therapy session" than a standard Hollywood release.





The duo explores the film's heavy themes, including the "invisible divorce"—where couples are too busy to actually split up—and the exhausting "performance" we all maintain in the age of social media and constant connection. Coco shares her personal "three marriages" theory regarding long-term loyalty, while Blane connects the film’s gritty "Giallo-style" cinematography to the high cost of being a creator. From Will Arnett’s heartbreaking turn as a father sleeping on the couch to a surprisingly deep cameo by Peyton Manning, this episode deconstructs why this movie hits so close to home.





Finally, the show wraps up with a "Freaky Friday" correction regarding Brad Pitt’s racing credentials and a look at Blane’s rare Boy Meets World Funko Pop collection.
