Clock (Hulu) with Alexis Jacknow

Filmmaker Alexis Jacknow joins the pod to discuss her feature film Clock, which premiers on Hulu April 28th. Clock, written and directed by Alexis, is a body-horror thriller about a woman who joins a clinical trial in order to fix her “broken” biological clock. We discuss the film’s multi-layered symbolism, Jewish themes, and filming with a live tarantula. And just when you'd least expect it, we jam about Eurovision's Oscar snub.  Sign up for the Friday Night Movie Newsletter for giveaways, curated episode playlists from the hosts and guests (including our mom), and at MOST one email per month (and probably fewer).  Closed captions for this episode are available via the player on the official Friday Night Movie homepage, the Podbean app and website, and YouTube.  The Friday Night Movie Family supports the following organizations: the DC Abortion Fund, HIAS, NAACP Legal Defense Fund | Equal Justice Initiative | Asian American Journalists Association.
