up in the air

This week, Let’s Taco ‘Bout returns with another awesome chat! I am joined by Sioux Falls State Theatre volunteer and dog dad, Tarek Maalouf. We chat about his Pennsylvania roots, where his love of movies stems from, and having an aptitude for numbers and science. We then dive into Tarek’s pick for movie of the week, the Oscar-nominated, Jason Reitman flick, Up in the Air.

Tarek can be found on IG and Twitter at @TarekForSD.

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Check your bags and take the middle seat between Lisha and Jules as they review Jason Reitman's 2009 film Up in the Air! It was Jules' pick this week, and it'll be easy to hear why as you listen to her squeak over Anna Kendrick...though to be fair, there's a lot of praise happening over just about everything in this week's episode. From Lisha getting really, really deep with her character analysis of Ryan (is he or ISN'T he a total twat?), the gals losing it over a-mazing cinematography, and a mutual outpouring of love over the ever formidable Vera Farmiga, pour yourself some (hopefully not black licorice flavored) tea or crack open a can, sir, and come fly with us.
