Summary
Five friends, no motivation, and a dead-end seaside town. Nope, it’s not this podcast! It’s I VITELLONI, Federico Fellini’s proto-slacker dramedy where tension is low and malaise is high. Moraldo’s friend Fausto knocks up Moraldo’s sister Sandra and marries her, sending the tight-knit crew of twentysomethings into a rather uneventful spiral. We discuss Italy’s national identity during a postwar economic boom, how these guys stare actualization in the face and blink, and how many grilled cheeses and PB\&Js the average American eats in their life.
