One reason I created The Staffa Corner podcast is because we’ve witnessed a decline in our ability to engage in thoughtful debates and maintain civil discussions. When someone disagrees with us, our reflex is often defensiveness.
As a TV/film critic, it is easy to write a negative review, post it, and swiftly move on to the next critique.
Recently, I had the opportunity to screen Switch Up, which premiered today at SXSW. Although there were several positive aspects, my thoughts on the film leaned toward the negative. Let’s face it—we tend to gravitate toward criticism. When I had the chance to have the film’s director, Tara Pirnia, on the podcast, I eagerly accepted.
We engaged civilly during our 45-minute conversation, and I enjoyed talking to her. Did Tara concede her mistakes and align with my perspective? No, but that wasn’t the goal. Sometimes, a civil disagreement doesn’t alter viewpoints. Instead, it fosters a deeper understanding of differing opinions.
I sincerely appreciate Tara’s willingness to join the podcast, especially considering it was recorded just 24 hours before the release of her first feature film.
Switch Up premiered at SXSW March 10, 2024 and will likely be making the film festival rounds. You can read my review here.
