## Resource

This week on Cozy Quilt Cinema, Michelle and Beth discuss John Carney's 2007 indie darling Once, the quiet, music-drenched story of an Irish busker and a Czech girl who fall into something between friendship and love. They talk Glenn Hansard and Markéta Irglová's real-life history, the ick factor versus the movie's actual restraint, busking as eulogy, community in a building with one shared TV, and why a film with barely any plot somehow stays with you for twenty years. Stitch Count score: 3/9. A quick note: Beth is under the weather this Fourth of July weekend, so we pulled a previously unaired episode from the archive for you this week. You may notice some differences in the sound and editing compared to our usual episodes, thanks for your patience and for curling up in the blanket fort with us anyway.
