Photo by Laura Fedele/Flickr\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last week The National played their song \"This Is The Last Time\" on both \u003cem>Conan \u003c/em>and\u003cem> Kimmel.\u003c/em> While everyone knows that \"Get Lucky\" and \"Blurred Lines\" are the Songs of the Early to Mid-Summer, those happy days when everything is a dance party, everyone is two drinks in and romance flourishes, it's becoming clear that \"This Is The Last Time\" is the Song of the End of Summer. It's the emotional hangover song. The everything ends song. Instead of mainly taking place in falsetto like \"Blurred Lines,\" this song is about two registers lower than regular man-voice. And it's main thrust is that love is a swamp and that if we are ever happy, we're all going to be sad and then eventually we're all going to die (okay I may have drawn that last conclusion).

It's the emotional hangover song. The everything ends song. Instead of mainly taking place in falsetto like \"Blurred Lines,\" this song is about two registers lower than regular man-voice. And it's main thrust is that love is a swamp and that if we are ever happy, we're all going to be sad and then eventually we're all going to die (okay I may have drawn that last conclusion).

What was once the season of fleeting love and less-than-quality television programming has turned, for those of us who are adults with jobs and Netflix, into the season of still-basically-single and pretty-great television. Because I am a positive/delusional person who likes to make lemons into imaginary lemonade, I have decided the best way to regain the romance of summer is by having imaginary relationships with the gentleman I see most frequently: the boys of TV. Since I am TV-polyamorous, I would like to share the wealth with you. Let me introduce you to my six favorite TV boyfriends of the summer.

We could call those the bad old days, when instead of the immediate gratification of Netflix Instant starting a new episode for you 12 seconds after the last one ended, you had to wait for a week between cliff hanger and resolution. Sure we were less busy back then, without the internet, but were our brains really so much better that we could remember plot points and characters for a week? Nowadays we know the joy of marathoning a really great show. Nothing compares to immersing yourself in a fictional world and then coming up days later, not really sure where or who you are anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the foggy gloomy of San Francisco summer not looking like it will let up anytime soon, we asked KQED Pop's TV obsessed writers to share their favorite shows for marathoning.

I slipped a disc in the L5S1 part of my vertebrae and there was major pressure on my sciatic nerve. Standing for extended periods of time was virtually impossible. This led to couch time and more importantly TV show marathons! After blowing through \u003cem>The OC, Laguna Beach \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Ashlee Simpson Show\u003c/em>, I was tired of the sun-kissed cheeks and thoughtless drama. And where else to turn for cerebral joy than HBO? \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> was in its last season and was at the height of popularity. So began my indulging of a different side of Los Angeles, the inland side. As we know, each episode began with a death and more often than not that body ended up in the basement of the Fisher Funeral Home. Some of the tightest writing in television history, \u003cem>Six Feet Under \u003c/em>defined that summer for me. I watched the show alone as though it demanded it. I never learned so much about life through death. Claire gave me serious Angela Chase vibes, David was super gay, Nate was hot, Brenda was crazy, Ruth was superb and my favorite character on the show. But what stood out most to me was the tone, supported immensely by the incredible music selections. Each episode quiet and hazy, not too dissimilar from the summer I was having, cooped up indoors while that hot star shown down on the rest of the world outside. And I was perfectly fine with it. Like any great television show, I was living through these characters, they were teaching me and I was affected. Since then I equate \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> with summertime, because even in the brightest of seasons you must find room for a little darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/serena/\" target=\"_blank\">Serena Cole\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/305-desmond-hurley-01-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7262\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-7262 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg\" alt=\"305-desmond-hurley-01\" width=\"640\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011-400x216.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe in doing things all the way if you're going to do them at all. If you're going to drink, fall over with your pants down, and if you're going to marathon a show this summer, it should be at least a significant portion of your waking life. After all, what good is a show that was cancelled after two seasons, or one you have to wait an entire YEAR for your next fix? The good news for you is that the complete \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em> series is 49 hours, so you could put in a full work week watching it and still have episodes left. And it \u003cem>needs\u003c/em> to be all at once; sleep, hygiene, and food neglected until you really are stranded on a desert island with Sawyer, Hurley, Desmond and Charlie.

That shrill, frantic violin ending each time puts you so far off the edge of the couch that you don't even mind that you just got hooked on polar bears and time travel and you absolutely must know what happened in the next episode with the smoke monster.

If you missed the five seasons of this masterful Canadian sketch comedy show when it originally aired in the late '80/early '90s, Netflix will set you straight. This is stripped down, super funny, sketch comedy at its pinnacle, performed by the equally hysterical Dave Foley, Mark McKinney, Kevin MacDonald, Scott Thompson and Bruce McCulloch.

Life is far too complicated for just one favorite movie/band/food/dress/book/color. And television is no exception. For that reason I struggle with which show is my favorite to stream in the summer months. So many ways to answer the question…My ironic answer is \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>, complete with shiny lip gloss, giant baubles and a text message-centric murder mystery that never ever ends. Bonus points for the fact that it’s laughably predictable suspense is full of repetitive horror movie tropes that could lend themselves to a pretty amusing drinking game. Subtract points for the fact that no one will watch this with me and I don’t think I should be drinking alone while watching \u003cem>Pretty Little Liars\u003c/em>. My genuine answer is \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that refreshingly portrays 30-somethings instead of teenagers, and not only that but depicts them as the ridiculous, immature, hilarious people they often are (I’d also nominate \u003cem>The Mindy Project \u003c/em>in this category if I could find it streaming somewhere other than Hulu Plus). I far prefer Mindy to Zooey, but regardless, both of these funny, girl-fronted shows make me happy. Many an episode has me laughing so hard I’m crying. I deeply relate to the thesis statement of both stories, ones where the humor is derived almost solely from the inability of its characters to be grown-ups. My nostalgic answers are the swoon-worthy, heartwarming, paradigm-shifting, Tim Riggins-having, \u003cem>Friday Night Lights\u003c/em>, as well as the classic, \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>, whose conclusion I will one day soon actually see\u003cem>.\u003c/em> There you have it-five answers for the price of one!

I grew up without a TV so watching shows on DVD was my first way of really experiencing and getting sucked into a TV world. For me it reflects the way I started consuming my stories: novels. I would stay up all night reading a novel, walk to school literally with my nose in a book, get sent out of the classroom for reading too much. Maybe I have an addictive personality. Okay, I definitely have an addictive personality. Anyway, for this one I decided to go waaay back to one of my first marathoning experiences: the totally sublime \u003cem>Queer as\u003c/em> \u003cem>Folk\u003c/em>. Though I still have no idea what the name means, I can tell you I devoured this show back when Netflix didn't even have Instant, the year after I graduated from college (2005 soooo long ago). How could I, a 23-year-old straight girl from America, identify so closely with a group of fictional gay dudes in England? Who knows. Maybe it was the character development, maybe it was the drama and romance. But I can say that before I watched this show I seriously didn't even know any gay men and by the time I finished it, all I wanted was to BE a gay man.

Another, Data, is an android. The residents of the ship spend much of their time painting and reading big tomes of classical literature and generally being comfy, space-bougey, and Frasieresque. In 1989, Ronald D. Moore, who would later reboot \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica\u003c/em>, started writing for the show, fully embracing the awkward comedy of it and allowing for the kind of dark storylines Roddenberry might not have approved of.

And then there are the people who reappear or just stay. Claire Danes is part of the latter category for me. When I was a tween, I watched \u003cem>My So-Called Life\u003c/em> over and over, that short-lived, yet enduring time capsule of what it feels like to be a teen, all that thrill and all that terror. Like an older sister, Angela Chase taught me how to dye my hair and battle against who my parents thought I was and how to obsess over Anne Frank and that surly boy incapable of loving me back. Those lessons were enough. If I never heard of Claire again, she would have served her purpose, yet she resurfaced in my life recently, as I was trapped in a Philadelphia airport, in the form of \u003cem>Homeland\u003c/em>. This time, she was playing a grown-up CIA operative who was crazed in a more clinical way than Angela Chase. But the core of what made me fall in love with her the first time remained: both characters share an unrelenting desire for someone just outside their grasp, as well as a stubborn refusal to let go of what they feel and believe. And it's due to these protagonists that both shows are the kind you can't help but devour, the first for its innocent nostalgic relatability and the latter for its passionate insane drama. Will Jordan Catalano hold Angela's hand? Will Carrie Mathison die for love? You'll just have to watch and see.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Nothing really compares to immersing yourself in a fictional world and then coming up days later, not really sure where or who you are anymore, so we asked KQED Pop's TV obsessed writers to share their favorite shows for marathoning.

I slipped a disc in the L5S1 part of my vertebrae and there was major pressure on my sciatic nerve. Standing for extended periods of time was virtually impossible. This led to couch time and more importantly TV show marathons! After blowing through \u003cem>The OC, Laguna Beach \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Ashlee Simpson Show\u003c/em>, I was tired of the sun-kissed cheeks and thoughtless drama. And where else to turn for cerebral joy than HBO? \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> was in its last season and was at the height of popularity. So began my indulging of a different side of Los Angeles, the inland side. As we know, each episode began with a death and more often than not that body ended up in the basement of the Fisher Funeral Home. Some of the tightest writing in television history, \u003cem>Six Feet Under \u003c/em>defined that summer for me. I watched the show alone as though it demanded it. I never learned so much about life through death. Claire gave me serious Angela Chase vibes, David was super gay, Nate was hot, Brenda was crazy, Ruth was superb and my favorite character on the show. But what stood out most to me was the tone, supported immensely by the incredible music selections. Each episode quiet and hazy, not too dissimilar from the summer I was having, cooped up indoors while that hot star shown down on the rest of the world outside. And I was perfectly fine with it. Like any great television show, I was living through these characters, they were teaching me and I was affected. Since then I equate \u003cem>Six Feet Under\u003c/em> with summertime, because even in the brightest of seasons you must find room for a little darkness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/serena/\" target=\"_blank\">Serena Cole\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Lost\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/305-desmond-hurley-01-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7262\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-7262 aligncenter\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg\" alt=\"305-desmond-hurley-01\" width=\"640\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/305-desmond-hurley-011-400x216.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe in doing things all the way if you're going to do them at all.

My genuine answer is \u003cem>New Girl\u003c/em>, a show that refreshingly portrays 30-somethings instead of teenagers, and not only that but depicts them as the ridiculous, immature, hilarious people they often are (I’d also nominate \u003cem>The Mindy Project \u003c/em>in this category if I could find it streaming somewhere other than Hulu Plus). I far prefer Mindy to Zooey, but regardless, both of these funny, girl-fronted shows make me happy. Many an episode has me laughing so hard I’m crying. I deeply relate to the thesis statement of both stories, ones where the humor is derived almost solely from the inability of its characters to be grown-ups. My nostalgic answers are the swoon-worthy, heartwarming, paradigm-shifting, Tim Riggins-having, \u003cem>Friday Night Lights\u003c/em>, as well as the classic, \u003cem>Twin Peaks\u003c/em>, whose conclusion I will one day soon actually see\u003cem>.\u003c/em> There you have it-five answers for the price of one! I think I’m going to cancel the rest of my summer plans so I can finally find out who A is, who killed Laura Palmer, further analyze the Lahiri/Castellano, Jess/Nick sexual tension, and watch Tim Riggins drive a pick-up truck and throw a football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/lizzyacker/\" target=\"_blank\">Lizzy Acker\u003c/a>: \u003cem>Queer as Folk \u003c/em>(UK version)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/02/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever/queer-as-folk-uk2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7287\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7287\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2.jpg\" alt=\"queer-as-folk-uk2\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/queer-as-folk-uk2-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm pretty much an \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/22/5-reasons-to-start-watching-orange-is-the-new-black-right-now/\" target=\"_blank\">evangelist\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/06/18/get-ready-for-the-bling-ring-by-watching-pretty-wild-on-netflix-instant/\" target=\"_blank\">for\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/22/the-real-world-san-francisco-is-airing-on-mtv-on-sunday/\" target=\"_blank\">the\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/05/31/please-keep-watching-arrested-development-season-four/\" target=\"_blank\">marathoning\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/03/13/the-killing-season-2-is-on-netflix/\" target=\"_blank\">of TV shows\u003c/a>. I grew up without a TV so watching shows on DVD was my first way of really experiencing and getting sucked into a TV world. For me it reflects the way I started consuming my stories: novels. I would stay up all night reading a novel, walk to school literally with my nose in a book, get sent out of the classroom for reading too much. Maybe I have an addictive personality. Okay, I definitely have an addictive personality. Anyway, for this one I decided to go waaay back to one of my first marathoning experiences: the totally sublime \u003cem>Queer as\u003c/em> \u003cem>Folk\u003c/em>. Though I still have no idea what the name means, I can tell you I devoured this show back when Netflix didn't even have Instant, the year after I graduated from college (2005 soooo long ago). How could I, a 23-year-old straight girl from America, identify so closely with a group of fictional gay dudes in England? Who knows. Maybe it was the character development, maybe it was the drama and romance. But I can say that before I watched this show I seriously didn't even know any gay men and by the time I finished it, all I wanted was to BE a gay man.

Another, Data, is an android. The residents of the ship spend much of their time painting and reading big tomes of classical literature and generally being comfy, space-bougey, and Frasieresque. In 1989, Ronald D. Moore, who would later reboot \u003cem>Battlestar Galactica\u003c/em>, started writing for the show, fully embracing the awkward comedy of it and allowing for the kind of dark storylines Roddenberry might not have approved of. This clip reminds me of a great deal of poetry readings I've been to.

And then there are the people who reappear or just stay. Claire Danes is part of the latter category for me. When I was a tween, I watched \u003cem>My So-Called Life\u003c/em> over and over, that short-lived, yet enduring time capsule of what it feels like to be a teen, all that thrill and all that terror. Like an older sister, Angela Chase taught me how to dye my hair and battle against who my parents thought I was and how to obsess over Anne Frank and that surly boy incapable of loving me back. Those lessons were enough. If I never heard of Claire again, she would have served her purpose, yet she resurfaced in my life recently, as I was trapped in a Philadelphia airport, in the form of \u003cem>Homeland\u003c/em>. This time, she was playing a grown-up CIA operative who was crazed in a more clinical way than Angela Chase. But the core of what made me fall in love with her the first time remained: both characters share an unrelenting desire for someone just outside their grasp, as well as a stubborn refusal to let go of what they feel and believe. And it's due to these protagonists that both shows are the kind you can't help but devour, the first for its innocent nostalgic relatability and the latter for its passionate insane drama. Will Jordan Catalano hold Angela's hand? Will Carrie Mathison die for love? You'll just have to watch and see.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/pop/7234/the-most-marathonable-tv-shows-ever","authors":["2421"],"categories":["pop_6","pop_3"],"tags":["pop_177","pop_334","pop_1073","pop_1071","pop_386","pop_1077","pop_438","pop_384","pop_70","pop_1074","pop_1078","pop_1072","pop_696","pop_949","pop_1075","pop_1076"],"featImg":"pop_7282","label":"pop"},"pop_7213":{"type":"posts","id":"pop_7213","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"pop","id":"7213","score":null,"sort":[1375381823000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"from-homemade-hero-to-convenience-queen-which-kind-of-potlucker-are-you","title":"From Homemade Hero to Convenience Queen: Which Kind of Potlucker Are You?","publishDate":1375381823,"format":"aside","headTitle":"KQED Pop | KQED Arts","labelTerm":{"site":"pop"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_7253\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/08/01/from-homemade-hero-to-convenience-queen-which-kind-of-potlucker-are-you/potluck1/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7253\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-7253\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/potluck1.jpg\" alt=\"potluck1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/potluck1.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/08/potluck1-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by Lizzy Acker\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Seems like every get-together I receive an invitation to comes with the same catch: it's a potluck.

We were dumbfounded but welcomed her just the same even though it was an absolute potluck faux pas. No one thought an opened bag of Snap Peas was on par with the kebabs, but that's just the way it is because the rules have never been written down and are open to interpretation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of diligent research, I've noticed that potluck party-goers tend to fall in one (or more) of these six acceptable categories.

You give and you receive and everyone's full and happy. But it doesn't seem like everyone got that message, and it's just not that easy. Throw in some food allergies, dietary restrictions, picky eaters and lazy friends and the project gets a bit more tricky. But nevertheless, there should be some kind of guidelines as to what's acceptable to contribute to a potluck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently I attended a rather stately potluck. Each guest seemed to really put extra TLC into their dishes: Homemade vegan cupcakes, fresh basil and heirloom salad, sangria, the works! But one friend arrived late presenting the hosts with a couple of opened and half eaten bags of dehydrated vegetable crisps as her contribution. We were dumbfounded but welcomed her just the same even though it was an absolute potluck faux pas. No one thought an opened bag of Snap Peas was on par with the kebabs, but that's just the way it is because the rules have never been written down and are open to interpretation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of diligent research, I've noticed that potluck party-goers tend to fall in one (or more) of these six acceptable categories.

We Long for the Moment Too Long\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTo long for anything—especially the past—can trigger any number of physical and emotional reactions. The pulse can quicken, the sweat can bead, the tears can well. I recently heard Andrew Cedermark’s song “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/underwaterpeoples/andrew-cedermark-canis-major\">Canis Major\u003c/a>” for the first time last week and was immediately taken back to the early 2000s, driving in the car with myself, cruising down the smooth and quiet Lake Erie coastline. This song that I have never heard before and that was written within the last year sounded like my 1995 maroon Saturn I sold a decade ago. My brain showed me the angles of suburban architecture, big summer clouds and serotonin. In that moment I missed old moments, parts of myself that once existed, parts that I’ve grown out of, parts I’ll never get back no matter how much I attempt to recreate them. I’ve been home now for the week in Buffalo and conscious effort to make these types of memories again feel contrived. Nostalgia can be activated at any moment when you’re living in real time and that switch is flipped. You find yourself taken back and chances are you don’t want to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We long for the moment to long and popular culture has caught on. Whether there’s a product to be sold or the mission is to connect, we are presented with the bait of summer nostalgia virtually everyday in one form or another. We bite. We bite hard. We bite gladly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64a15jJqFDk]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>II. Water as a Metaphor \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKings of Leon single “Supersoaker” is a recent example of an attempt at a solid tug on our memory strings. The perfect title of reminiscence for that way back summer of Generation X and their younger Y siblings darting around the yard, ducking behind bushes, and targeting whomever they could with their water gun. A modern-day icon, the Super Soaker (Trademark Nerf) represents youthful antics, and although I dislike Kings of Leon with a genuine passion, the title piques my interest. I even hear what sounds like a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3sB_iHFoFY\">glockenspiel\u003c/a> twinkling throughout this tune, which is let’s be honest, a kid’s toy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Super Soaker is relatively contemporary, nothing can evoke the tradition of summer youth like the image of an open fire hydrant on a sweltering day. The hydrants themselves appear difficult to open, perhaps only the strongest man on the street with the biggest wrench could manage such a task. But once it’s complete, the entire neighborhood of children is free to partake, relieving their bodies of the heat and drenching them with cold water from an unknown source. Known famously in metropolitan settings, it is not uncommon for an open hydrant to appear in suburbia, monitored viciously by a Mommy Blogger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_7066\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/25/explore-nostalgic-power-of-summer/pops/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7066\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-7066\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/pops.jpg\" alt=\"pops\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/pops.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/pops-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holding a popsicle over my front lawn.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>III.

I took lessons when I was young, maybe for like 2 years but found my interest leaned more on the gymnastics side of sports than the tennis side. One thing is for certain though, three Grand Slams act as mile markers for summer. In May/June we head to Paris for the French Open, a beautiful place to welcome the warming weather. In June/July we find ourselves in London for Wimbledon, right in the thick of it, players tossing their bodies around on fresh cut grass courts. And finally, in August/September, we end up at the US Open in Flushing, New York. What better a way to bid farewell to a sporty season than in New York City, where the summers are relentless. Like clockwork, these three Grand Slams come and go and narrate the time. And it’s all televised! Whether or not you're even a sports fan, you’ll catch a glimpse of these tournaments on network television, you’ll see the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, and you’ll think: Wow, they must be so hot. It’s true, they are hot, because it’s summer, and we’re all just trying to stay cool out here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQiYmdLKJU]\u003c/div>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"It can be activated at any moment when you’re living in real time and that switch is flipped.

We Long for the Moment Too Long\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTo long for anything—especially the past—can trigger any number of physical and emotional reactions. The pulse can quicken, the sweat can bead, the tears can well. I recently heard Andrew Cedermark’s song “\u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/underwaterpeoples/andrew-cedermark-canis-major\">Canis Major\u003c/a>” for the first time last week and was immediately taken back to the early 2000s, driving in the car with myself, cruising down the smooth and quiet Lake Erie coastline. This song that I have never heard before and that was written within the last year sounded like my 1995 maroon Saturn I sold a decade ago. My brain showed me the angles of suburban architecture, big summer clouds and serotonin. In that moment I missed old moments, parts of myself that once existed, parts that I’ve grown out of, parts I’ll never get back no matter how much I attempt to recreate them. I’ve been home now for the week in Buffalo and conscious effort to make these types of memories again feel contrived. Nostalgia can be activated at any moment when you’re living in real time and that switch is flipped. You find yourself taken back and chances are you don’t want to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We long for the moment to long and popular culture has caught on. Whether there’s a product to be sold or the mission is to connect, we are presented with the bait of summer nostalgia virtually everyday in one form or another. We bite. We bite hard.

Water as a Metaphor \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nKings of Leon single “Supersoaker” is a recent example of an attempt at a solid tug on our memory strings. The perfect title of reminiscence for that way back summer of Generation X and their younger Y siblings darting around the yard, ducking behind bushes, and targeting whomever they could with their water gun. A modern-day icon, the Super Soaker (Trademark Nerf) represents youthful antics, and although I dislike Kings of Leon with a genuine passion, the title piques my interest. I even hear what sounds like a \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3sB_iHFoFY\">glockenspiel\u003c/a> twinkling throughout this tune, which is let’s be honest, a kid’s toy!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Super Soaker is relatively contemporary, nothing can evoke the tradition of summer youth like the image of an open fire hydrant on a sweltering day. The hydrants themselves appear difficult to open, perhaps only the strongest man on the street with the biggest wrench could manage such a task. But once it’s complete, the entire neighborhood of children is free to partake, relieving their bodies of the heat and drenching them with cold water from an unknown source. Known famously in metropolitan settings, it is not uncommon for an open hydrant to appear in suburbia, monitored viciously by a Mommy Blogger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_7066\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/25/explore-nostalgic-power-of-summer/pops/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7066\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-7066\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/pops.jpg\" alt=\"pops\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/pops.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/pops-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Holding a popsicle over my front lawn.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>III.

I took lessons when I was young, maybe for like 2 years but found my interest leaned more on the gymnastics side of sports than the tennis side. One thing is for certain though, three Grand Slams act as mile markers for summer. In May/June we head to Paris for the French Open, a beautiful place to welcome the warming weather. In June/July we find ourselves in London for Wimbledon, right in the thick of it, players tossing their bodies around on fresh cut grass courts. And finally, in August/September, we end up at the US Open in Flushing, New York. What better a way to bid farewell to a sporty season than in New York City, where the summers are relentless. Like clockwork, these three Grand Slams come and go and narrate the time. And it’s all televised! Whether or not you're even a sports fan, you’ll catch a glimpse of these tournaments on network television, you’ll see the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, and you’ll think: Wow, they must be so hot. It’s true, they are hot, because it’s summer, and we’re all just trying to stay cool out here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/QTQiYmdLKJU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/QTQiYmdLKJU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/pop/7036/explore-nostalgic-power-of-summer","authors":["2416"],"categories":["pop_1057"],"tags":["pop_1055","pop_595","pop_81","pop_696","pop_949","pop_1056"],"featImg":"pop_110251","label":"pop"},"pop_6865":{"type":"posts","id":"pop_6865","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"pop","id":"6865","score":null,"sort":[1374152409000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"10-classic-summer-movies-to-fight-the-san-francisco-july-gloom","title":"10 Classic Summer Movies to Fight the San Francisco July Gloom","publishDate":1374152409,"format":"aside","headTitle":"KQED Pop | KQED Arts","labelTerm":{"site":"pop"},"content":"\u003cp>The chilly wind whipping through the city tells us one thing: summer has arrived in San Francisco.

Cusack plays Lloyd Dobbler, a quirky, well-traveled, aspiring kickboxer who seems to understand more about the meaning of life than most. This is basically the movie that ruined dating for all of us --just ask Chuck Klosterman who wrote about Cusack's characters destroying the modern meaning of love in his 2004 book \u003cem>Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto\u003c/em>-- because Lloyd was so thoughtful and so romantic and their love was SO mindblowing it was just impossible to replicate IRL.

This is the heroic story of four best friends; Gordie, the bookish voice of reason who feels invisible; Chris, the youngest in a family of ruffians and drunks, who has a heart of gold; Vern, a chubby, shy, butt of the joke-type and the incomparable Teddy Duchamp, an eccentric spaz. Set in the 1950s the boys set out to find the body of missing boy in an effort to become local heroes. Along their journey they dodge trains, leeches and a gang of hoodlums all while discovering their own strength of conviction. Set against a perfect '50s soundtrack, \u003cem>Stand By Me\u003c/em> is the archetypal coming of age story. It made me feel something when I was 12.

This way they'll get an opportunity to meet the parent they were taken away from and hopefully reunite their divorced parents. Their swap is discovered and Susan and their mother fly to California to switch the girls back but the twins are too smart for that noise. They dress alike to confuse everyone and work their magic to destroy their father's relationship with a young gold-digger and drive him back into the arms of their mother.

As nighttime temps in the City by the Bay dip into the low 50s, citizens reach for their scarves and hoodies. July was never supposed to be this way. Keeping up with friends' summer vacation plans and Instagram photos is exhausting. They're so hot, and we're so mild. Luckily I, like many in this town, look good in a jean jacket and appreciate fall weather. I think SF's summer is A-OK. Not to mention all of the movie watching opportunities a chilly summer night offers. So if you're stuck inside on a midsummer's night here are a few of my favorite summertime flicks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. \u003cem>Camp Nowhere\u003c/em> (1994)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/fmT5jEc14IU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Rather than attending computer camp/military camp/theater camp/fat camp, Mud Himmel and his Jr. High pals hatch a plan to trick their parents into sending them to a parent-less camp paradise. It totally works! They blackmail former drama teacher/current lowlife Christopher Lloyd into acting as the responsible adult, find a rundown hippie campsite, buy a big screen TV and some super soakers, and embark on the best summer ever. It mostly just makes me wish I'd been smart enough to rig up a scheme like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. \u003cem>My Girl\u003c/em> (1991)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/DqGv6qfHlmc\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Nothing's as darling as a young hypochondriac girl obsessed with death and her English teacher on a crusade to destroy her father's burgeoning relationship with Jamie Lee Curtis.

It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.

Cusack plays Lloyd Dobbler, a quirky, well-traveled, aspiring kickboxer who seems to understand more about the meaning of life than most. This is basically the movie that ruined dating for all of us --just ask Chuck Klosterman who wrote about Cusack's characters destroying the modern meaning of love in his 2004 book \u003cem>Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto\u003c/em>-- because Lloyd was so thoughtful and so romantic and their love was SO mindblowing it was just impossible to replicate IRL. Nevertheless, when \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/-j379JbL-xM\" target=\"_blank\">Lloyd holds up the boombox blasting \"In Your Eyes\" outside of Diane's bedroom window\u003c/a>, your heart will explode...and you'll believe in summer love again. Bonus points for Lili Taylor's collection of \"Joe Lies\" jilted-ex-lover style songs.

This is the heroic story of four best friends; Gordie, the bookish voice of reason who feels invisible; Chris, the youngest in a family of ruffians and drunks, who has a heart of gold; Vern, a chubby, shy, butt of the joke-type and the incomparable Teddy Duchamp, an eccentric spaz. Set in the 1950s the boys set out to find the body of missing boy in an effort to become local heroes. Along their journey they dodge trains, leeches and a gang of hoodlums all while discovering their own strength of conviction. Set against a perfect '50s soundtrack, \u003cem>Stand By Me\u003c/em> is the archetypal coming of age story. It made me feel something when I was 12. Plus it stars a young River Phoenix and that's a wonderful treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. \u003cem>The Parent Trap\u003c/em> (1961)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/Vlr4mwtjEKY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Before \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkma7aJGjFs\">Linsday Lohan shot to stardom in the 1998 remake\u003c/a>, a young Hayley Mills portrayed the role of separated at birth twins Sharon and Susan. When the two identical twins--who never knew the other existed--meet by accident at summer camp, they decided the only logical thing to do is to switch parents. This way they'll get an opportunity to meet the parent they were taken away from and hopefully reunite their divorced parents. Their swap is discovered and Susan and their mother fly to California to switch the girls back but the twins are too smart for that noise. They dress alike to confuse everyone and work their magic to destroy their father's relationship with a young gold-digger and drive him back into the arms of their mother. This movie riveted me as a child, I even video taped it during one of the Disney Channel free preview weeks back when it was a subscription only channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. \u003cem>One Crazy Summer\u003c/em> (1986)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/4GaWlTXISpw\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Here we once again meet John Cusack this time as Hoops McCann, a recent high school grad who has recently disappointed his family by failing to get a basketball scholarship. As his backup plan, Hoops strives to attend Rhode Island School of Design but must write and illustrate a love story for his application. He decides to spend the summer with his pals George and Squid on Nantucket. On their way to the island they pick up Cassandra (played by a young Demi Moore), a singer who also happens to be being chased by a motorcycle gang. Once on the island Hoops and his pals (including Bobcat Goldwaith) help Cassandra save her grandfather's house from the covetous Beckersted Family.

He befriends the park's hottest babe, Em and her sarcastic pal Joel. Together they eat pot-brownies on the job, outsmart game cheaters, and listen to The Velvet Underground. It's a summer of screwed-up romances, disappointing parents, and James finally losing his V-card. It has just the right amount of post-college nostalgia and hopefulness to feel realistic and it's all set to a perfect '80s new-wave/punk soundtrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. \u003cem>The Sandlot\u003c/em> (1993)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/-QDq-e1GbjE\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>This is the kind of movie that makes you yearn for those adventure-filled childhood summers.

Neighborhood baseball hot-shot Benny \"the Jet\" takes Smalls under his wing and before long he joins the motley crew of baseball boys. Together they navigate a summer full of baseball, tree-house sleepovers, the traveling fair and a gorgeous lifeguard at the local pool. Perhaps their biggest challenge is the ball-eating dog that resides just over the wall from their sand lot. \"The Beast,\" as he's called, is a legendary force to be reckoned with but after the boys accidentally hit a Babe Ruth autographed ball into his yard, Benny has no choice but to swallow his fear retrieve it. This movie also contains one of the most quotable lines ever, \"You're killin' me, Smalls.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9. \u003cem>Wet Hot American Summer\u003c/em> (2001)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/RByrRpURS5s\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>This ridiculous knee-slapper comes to us from the warped, precious minds of The State cast members Michael Showalter and David Wain.

While Susie and Ben work to organize the big end of summer talent show, Coop strives to win the affections of fellow counselor Katie. Since Coop can't hold a candle to her super hot yet totally unfaithful boyfriend Andy, he enlists the help of shell-shocked Vietnam vet camp cook Gene who shows him how to harness his awesome. Meanwhile, a bunch of goth kids and Niles from \u003cem>Fraiser\u003c/em> stop a huge chuck of NASA's sky lab from colliding with the camp. Also, they do heroin and abandon some children on a river.

When Baby's family vacations in the Catskills in the summer of 1963, she develops a righteous crush on the resort's dance instructor Johnny Castle (played by the one and only Patrick Swayze). When Johnny's dance partner Penny gets knocked up by womanizing waiter and general d-bag Robbie, Baby steps in, securing the money for Penny's abortion and taking over for her on the dance floor. Tensions rise on and off the dance floor as Baby falls hard for Johnny. When Johnny is eventually accused of stealing a resort guest's wallet and can't provide an alibi, Baby confesses that she and Johnny were in his cabin doing adult things that night. Johnny gets canned but still makes an appearance at the resorts final talent competition with Baby by his side.

His mother Pam, played by the fantastic Toni Collette, is in the early stages of a questionable relationship with Steve Carell’s character, Trent. Duncan is confronted by Trent who wants Duncan to rate himself on a scale of 1 to 10. Trent thinks Duncan is a 3. This basically challenges Duncan to go out and discover the beach community they are going to. Subsequently, Duncan discovers this eclectic water park where he finds acceptance. Sam Rockwell plays the manager and what proceeds is this right-of-passage for Duncan as he comes into this own. Eventually, hopefully, he reconnects with his mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Thematically, the movie is a classic coming-of-age tale and about finding yourself with the backdrop of this “blended” family.

We both had a fondness for destination vacations. We both went to Nantucket. Nat can speak more to that. But, just that idea of the same people going to a place and reconnecting every year.

It was just a ripe place for comedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Nat, did you also draw upon your own experiences as a teenager when writing the script?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nat:\u003c/strong> Not as specifically as Jim. Certainly, going to a beach location every summer and having those experiences. Nine months out of the year you are in school. Things change, but every summer you always come back to a place where things never seem to change. I certainly experienced that. I had an older cousin that was definitely a mentor to me growing up and I remember the summer where I became less of the boyish cousin and more of the “friend” who was taken along to hang out with his friends and go on surf trips and things like that. Certainly we always try to pull from our own experiences. Even our friends and co-worker’s experiences--delving into what makes them tick and why they are they way they are and the choices they’ve made. I think those things will always influence our writing—whether it be very specifically, like what happened with Jim or just in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6502\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/04/jim-rash-and-nat-faxon-on-the-way-way-back/web_size-2-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6502\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-6502\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/web_size-21.jpg\" alt=\"web_size-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/web_size-21.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/web_size-21-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jim Rash and Nat Faxon with Liam James/Photo: Fox Searchlight\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Do you have any general examples of how your everyday life has influenced the script?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nat:\u003c/strong> Yeah. The scene where Allison Janney is ranting about everything that has happened to her over the year is slightly based on those Christmas letters that you get that are Xeroxed copies that ramble through everything that has happened to that family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> That nobody really cares about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nat:\u003c/strong> Right. The job promotions and the Little League. We had a good friend who got a really negative letter that talked about all the horrible things that happened. That loosely inspired the scene with Allison. We are always looking for things that we can connect to personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> If a young person, like the character Duncan, is out there in the audience watching this film, what do you want he or she to take away from the movie? That life gets better? Like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.itgetsbetter.org\">It Gets Better Campaign\u003c/a>, sort of thing. What can they take away from the movie? That life won’t always be as hard as adolescence?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jim:\u003c/strong> For sure. I think coming of age and rite of passage has this sense of hope. It’s institutionally in this tale. Most of time we look back and have a fond memory of whatever our rite of passage was, whether it’s dramatic or just an inspirational night which unleashed this personality trait that was so deeply hidden within us. I hope that young adults walk away making this connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Pam, Duncan’s mom, also seems to be having her own life crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jim:\u003c/strong> Right. Toni Collette’s character is going through a rite-of-passage, too. Everyone in the movie is in transition.

There are also going to be people to nurture and to help you on your way. Both of them are going to serve purposes that you may not understand right away, but you are probably going to understand in context much later down the road. The important thing is to hear loud and clear the voices that are nurturing you and hear what the people are saying that’s hard to hear, too. Just acknowledge what they are saying and then you make that choice of how that will impact you. We need to be open and understanding when someone criticizes you, but you don’t necessarily need to be around that person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> You both also co-wrote the Academy-Award winning screenplay for \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1033575/?ref_=fn_al_tt_5\">The Descendents\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.

His mother Pam, played by the fantastic Toni Collette, is in the early stages of a questionable relationship with Steve Carell’s character, Trent. Duncan is confronted by Trent who wants Duncan to rate himself on a scale of 1 to 10. Trent thinks Duncan is a 3. This basically challenges Duncan to go out and discover the beach community they are going to. Subsequently, Duncan discovers this eclectic water park where he finds acceptance. Sam Rockwell plays the manager and what proceeds is this right-of-passage for Duncan as he comes into this own. Eventually, hopefully, he reconnects with his mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Thematically, the movie is a classic coming-of-age tale and about finding yourself with the backdrop of this “blended” family.

We both had a fondness for destination vacations. We both went to Nantucket. Nat can speak more to that. But, just that idea of the same people going to a place and reconnecting every year. That sort of theme was important to the movie, as well as a lot of water parks we would go to. It was just a ripe place for comedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Nat, did you also draw upon your own experiences as a teenager when writing the script?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nat:\u003c/strong> Not as specifically as Jim. Certainly, going to a beach location every summer and having those experiences. Nine months out of the year you are in school. Things change, but every summer you always come back to a place where things never seem to change. I certainly experienced that. I had an older cousin that was definitely a mentor to me growing up and I remember the summer where I became less of the boyish cousin and more of the “friend” who was taken along to hang out with his friends and go on surf trips and things like that. Certainly we always try to pull from our own experiences. Even our friends and co-worker’s experiences--delving into what makes them tick and why they are they way they are and the choices they’ve made. I think those things will always influence our writing—whether it be very specifically, like what happened with Jim or just in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_6502\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/07/04/jim-rash-and-nat-faxon-on-the-way-way-back/web_size-2-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6502\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-6502\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/web_size-21.jpg\" alt=\"web_size-2\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/web_size-21.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/07/web_size-21-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jim Rash and Nat Faxon with Liam James/Photo: Fox Searchlight\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Do you have any general examples of how your everyday life has influenced the script?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nat:\u003c/strong> Yeah. The scene where Allison Janney is ranting about everything that has happened to her over the year is slightly based on those Christmas letters that you get that are Xeroxed copies that ramble through everything that has happened to that family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> That nobody really cares about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nat:\u003c/strong> Right. The job promotions and the Little League. We had a good friend who got a really negative letter that talked about all the horrible things that happened. That loosely inspired the scene with Allison. We are always looking for things that we can connect to personally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> If a young person, like the character Duncan, is out there in the audience watching this film, what do you want he or she to take away from the movie? That life gets better? Like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.itgetsbetter.org\">It Gets Better Campaign\u003c/a>, sort of thing. What can they take away from the movie? That life won’t always be as hard as adolescence?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jim:\u003c/strong> For sure. I think coming of age and rite of passage has this sense of hope. It’s institutionally in this tale. Most of time we look back and have a fond memory of whatever our rite of passage was, whether it’s dramatic or just an inspirational night which unleashed this personality trait that was so deeply hidden within us. I hope that young adults walk away making this connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Pam, Duncan’s mom, also seems to be having her own life crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jim:\u003c/strong> Right. Toni Collette’s character is going through a rite-of-passage, too. Everyone in the movie is in transition. In a sense, they are going to that “next chapter.” That moment where they need to make a change or a move to evolve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> Tell me more about young Duncan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jim:\u003c/strong> For someone watching Duncan, it’s the idea that there are going to be people in your life that might provide hurdles and difficult times. There are also going to be people to nurture and to help you on your way. Both of them are going to serve purposes that you may not understand right away, but you are probably going to understand in context much later down the road. The important thing is to hear loud and clear the voices that are nurturing you and hear what the people are saying that’s hard to hear, too. Just acknowledge what they are saying and then you make that choice of how that will impact you. We need to be open and understanding when someone criticizes you, but you don’t necessarily need to be around that person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED Pop:\u003c/strong> You both also co-wrote the Academy-Award winning screenplay for \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1033575/?ref_=fn_al_tt_5\">The Descendents\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
