You may not realize it, but at the moment we are at the Sundance Film Festival. Yes, all of us. It’s virtual this year, you see, so for the first time, Sundance is technically happening everywhere, and everyone reading this is there. As proof, we brought Zoe Lister-Jones and Fred Armisen together live on Instagram for yet another episode of Two friends: a good time hanging out with people who know each other well. Normally, these two would be circulating at the Sundance Festival for the film How it ends, in which Lister-Jones stars and also co-directed with her husband Daryl Wein. Armisen co-stars in the film, alongside other people you may have heard of, such as Helen Hunt and Olivia Wilde. They would normally be sharing their thoughts with us about conspiracy theories and nightclubs live and in person, while freezing their bread in the truly beautiful state of Utah.
In a way, however, this works very well. Not only will no one have to defend themselves from altitude sickness on a mountain in January, but we will also be taking a surprise tour of Armisen’s office. Twice! This may not seem exciting to some of you, but I have been in the same small apartment in Queens for ten months, so seeing someone with a battery in a garage is, for me, the pinnacle of aspirational luxury.
