Ep. 8: mother! (2017) with Michele Eggen

What better way to celebrate Earth Day week than to discuss Darren Aronofsky's environmental apocalypse nightmare allegory Mother!. We are very happy to welcome our guest Michele Eggen of the Movies for Life Podcast (found in Season 1 of this feed) to discuss one of her favorite comfort movies--yes, really. We try to wade our way through some Kabbalah, Gnosticism, and mythology (oh my!) to try to get at the meaning of all that symbolism. So, if you ever wondered what Mother! is all about, we think we have some pretty good ideas while acknowledging that there are so many more possibilities than we had time for. Join us for a rousing, deep, but also very fun discussion of this giant stressball of a movie.
