# Episode #460 – Lumina, with Ashlie Atkinson

It’s Smalltember (Elliott pops into frame to say “Smallvember!”) — that special time of year when we allow ourselves to stray from big Hollywood movies to examine some tinier, more idiosyncratic pictures. And boy howdy is [Lumina](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5636228/) idiosyncratic! So we welcomed actor [Ashlie Atkinson](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1534700/) (The Gilded Age, The Lost Bus, Mr. Robot and much more) to help decipher the madness!
