True to form, Tommy & Amy "very thoroughly" examine Chapter 19 of Miranda July's All Fours . In the aftermath of a marital fissure, our character moves through her days in a haze of formality, cupcakes, and bones to chew on. All of which allow our fearless hosts to explore their past marriage tensions, typically beginning with a tiny pea, twenty mattresses down. This chapter seems to mark our character's "rock bottom"—she even compares herself to an alcoholic and just one drink. But with our pants down in Monrovia, where do we go from here?
