Juliet and Katherine propose a familiar (but not too familiar) categorization method for differentiating Jonases as they watch and discuss A Very Jonas Christmas Movie. Together they compare the life and performance of the Jonas Brothers to Borges' sense of alienation in public identity in Borges and I and the alienating absence-of-encounter in Zadie Smith's essay Meet Justin Bieber.
Is this a christmas movie "for boys"? Can you be miscast when cast as yourself? And can you ever go home alone again?
