## Resource

On today's episode Ella and Simon discuss one of their shared favorite genres: Mockumentaries. What defines a mockumentary? Can a brand-centered movie be good? Is Rob Reiner's Flipped really so popular? Does Laufey have an Icelandic soda? Will Waiting for Guffman (Simon's pick) or Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (Ella's pick) enter the Loose Canon? All of these questions, and more, will be answered.
