We're big fans of Marc Maron and liked a lot this funny story of a pawn shop owner negotiating with a lesbian couple about their antique sword. Michaela Watkins and Jillian Bell are the couple and Jon Bass is the hapless pawn shop employee.
Directed and co-written by Lynn Shelton, with Mike O'Brien co-writing, it was shot entirely in Birmingham, Alabama, so I imagine anyone familiar with that city will be tickled by the distinct location shots. No composer nor list of songs is on imdb.
Maron (podcast interviewer extraordinaire) was last blogged for Joker, Watkins and Bell for Brittany Runs a Marathon, and Shelton for Laggies. O'Brien has written for dozens of Saturday Night Live episodes.
Now streaming, it's rated 93% by Rotten Tomatoes' critics and 70 by its audiences. We saw it August 9, 2019.
