What did you think of Jonathan Glazer's 2013 minimalist sci-fi UNDER THE SKIN, starring Scarlett Johansson? Did it all make sense when you watched it the first time? Or did it only reveal it to yourself after another viewing? Today your hosts, Bill and Renan, come at it from different perspectives and have, well, different perspectives on it. Topics discussed include how the film was made and what it means, how it differs from the book and early scripts, and how it relates to ScarJo's stardom. Plus: other films that double as commentary on their actors, big stars in weird movies, and possible foreshadowing in Glazer's music video career.

“A single day spent doing things which fail to nourish the soul is a day stolen, mutilated, and discarded in the gutter of destiny.” ― Michel Faber, The Crimson Petal and the White -The Crimson Petal and the White, 2012
The appearance of “Monopoly Man” at the Senate hearing on the Equifax scandal reminded us of the following; “These days, the bigger the company, the less you can figure out what it does.” -- Michael Faber, from The Book of Strange New Things. Indeed.
So today we stopped in a book store and they had books that were featured in the series. They had the classics, but then I saw this one. It’s the book Emily is reading the day of Trix’s funeral, for her book club. Drunk as a skunk and in her robe. I had to buy it, it truly sounds like a good book. <3 God bless Kelly Bishop.
Neither talent nor fame can buy you happiness. When faсed with a lethal diagnosis young architect Robbie Hayman imagined his fate is to die alone. 50-s UK is a bad time to be gay. But love never chooses a good time. It just happens.
We are souls shut inside a cage of bones; souls squeezed into a parcel of flesh.
