Paid in Puke S5E4: Blue Valentine

On today's belated Valentine's Day episode, we're getting dark
with Derek Cianfrance's 2010 anti-romantic drama, Blue Valentine,
starring Michelle Williams. Cianfrance wrote this film as a way
to process his parents' divorce when he was twenty years old. As
bleak as it is, this film promotes two healthy things that are
rife with stigma: abortions and divorce. We also touch on the
very real emotions Williams brought to the role, the difficulties
of changing tax brackets for the better, and how Shel
Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" is actually a rose-colored
abusive relationship. The tree was NOT happy.
