Kestrin Pantera has one of the coolest names ever.
She also has one of the coolest careers ever. As a classically-trained cellist, she has performed alongside Weezer, Beck and Brandi Carlile. Recently, she has been playing shows with David Wain and Ken Marino’s Middle Aged Dad Jam Band.
But her true passion is directing. Her latest film, Pretty Problems, is a funny and unpredictable exploration of wealth and privilege. After earning acclaim on the festival circuit, it is now available to watch on Hulu.
We talk to Kestrin about directing independent films, performing alongside Weird Al Yankovic and being raised by the also-amazingly-named Commander Pantera.

This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined by an old friend … Sara Carson.
Speaking of old, Joel, Lars and Sara discuss the various ways they have shunned modern technology and embraced a more analog lifestyle; including buying records and DVDs in 2023, avoiding setting up Threads accounts and using social media only to track food trucks.
And, for added measure, Lars tells how he threw his back out in the most unremarkable way.
