Paid in Puke S11E2: If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
On season 11 episode 2 of Paid in Puke, we're digging into Mary Bronstein's semi-autobiographical dramedy, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, starring Rose Byrne, A$AP Rocky, and Christian Slater. The story follows Linda, a woman at the end of her rope dealing with full-time care for her ailing daughter, an absent husband, her talk therapy practice, an increasingly contentious relationship with her own therapist, and a supernaturally gaping wet hole in the ceiling of her apartment. We all loved this movie for different reasons. But we agree that Rose Byrne is a powerhouse, Bronstein is a genius, and sometimes ordinary life, especially for women, can feel like a horror movie. On The Lunchtime Poll, we talk about a time when we were already struggling, and an authority figure seemingly relished in using the letter of the law to make matters worse.
