Description

In this episode, we dive into Gia Coppola’s dreamy and disarming debut, Palo Alto. Based on James Franco’s short stories, the film captures the quiet chaos of suburban teen life—where rebellion feels aimless and every small mistake echoes into the future. We talk about the film’s mood, its refusal to judge, and how it reflects the drifting uncertainty of adolescence. It’s not about plot—it’s about the vibe.
