Hey, it's a Grierson and Leitch/People Still Read Books crossover episode! Melissa Maerz is a longtime entertainment journalist--she's one of the founders of Vulture--and one of the smartest pop culture minds working. And "Alright, Alright, Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused" is a terrific, engrossing read, a testament to Richard Linklater's great film. But it's also a history of Generation X, and of that particular moment in movie, and generational, history. She's very smart and a blast to talk to. Plus: "Dazed and Confused" is still awesome.
