The Big Sick
The Imbibe Cinema crew dives into another Michael Showalter film this season! The Big Sick (2017) features performances by Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Anupam Kher, Zenobia Shroff, Adeel Akhtar, and more. The featured cocktail for this post-screening discussion is the Coma Shot.
Pakistan-born comedian Kumail Nanjiani and grad student Emily Gardner fall in love but struggle as their cultures clash. When Emily contracts a mysterious illness, Kumail finds himself forced to face her feisty parents, his family’s expectations, and his true feelings.
In this episode, Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival Operations Director and podcast host Jonathan C. Legat is joined by Cinema Centennial Program Director Tricia Legat, and Executive Director Michael Noens. Featuring "Bring Down the Money (Freedom)" by Soldier Story.
