TIG: Back at The Movies, The Cancer Edition

TIG: Back at The Movies, The Cancer Edition

Tina and Leah are Back at The Movies! This time they are reviewing cancer-related documentaries. They talk about them, what they like, what they didn't like, and what parts of the films resonated with them.

In this episode, they review TIG, a 2015 documentary directed by Kristina Goolsby and Ashley York. The film covers the personal experiences and events leading up to, during, and after comedian and actor Tig Notaro's breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in 2012, and how she uses humor to cope with tragedy.

The movie is available to stream on Netflix.
