Ep 55 - Sketch: Trauma through Crayons

Are you the worst things that you've done or the best things you aspire to? We explore these questions with Theric Jepson as we discuss the movie Sketch. The episode had some scheduling snafus, but through the magic of editing, we bring you our conversation about this dark family horror/comedy about grief, anger, and drawings coming to life.
