Trash Film Guru

When is a step out of the nest anything but?

How about — when a TV series does an “offbeat” episode (a very relative term here, I realize, as the entire show is “offbeat” in the extreme) where no one leaves the house?

(Of course, in real life, Calvin Harris was dating Rita Ora when this video came out.)

Enjoy!
