Intricate Rituals

This week on Sneople, Matty, Ezra, and Helena finally get serious and talk about a subject near and dear to them — male intimacy in media. They tackle the fear of emotional intimacy and how movies can make us both feel lonely and loved. They go in depth with toxic masculinity and the delicate balance between platonic closeness and homoeroticism. They also talk about Ezra’s favorite sports movie, which isn’t really a sports movie, but is instead about two men putting in the emotional time for each other while also soccer happens. It’s a long and winding road of an episode and they’re glad to have you with them.
