TIFF 2019: Honey Boy Is A Complex Work From Shia LaBeouf

Honey Boy

Shia LaBeouf’s new film Honey Boy charts the relationship and eventual fallout between a child star and his father.

It’s a deep, complex piece that almost sheds any association with Michael Bay from LaBeouf’s resume.

Sarah reviewed the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival for Consequence of Sound.

Writing Explained On The I Never Told You What I Do Podcast

I Never Told You What I Do For A Living podcast

Writing is kinda balls.

Sure, if you’re Rory Gilmore it’s easy and wonderful and all, but for most of the world it’s low-paying, low-reward bullshit.

Why would anyone want to be a writer? Who knows?

But someone, specifically, the I Never Told You What I Do For A Living podcast, asked Sarah what her experience as a writer is like.

To listen to her episode go here.

(It’s also available at many other reputable podcast distro destinations as well if you’re not an Apple person.)
