Description

Try to keep up with all the plot twists and turns because we're discussing Pedro Almodóvar's genre-defying 2011 thriller The Skin I Live In. Heed all of the content warnings on this one, folks!
Join us as we discuss our relationship with Almodóvar before parsing through this complex film with a look at the accusations of misogyny, transphobia and transmisogyny that have been lobbied against it. It's an admittedly heavy conversation about a very challenging film (and we'd expect nothing less from Almodóvar).
Plus: unethical super skin, an actual Chekhov's Gun, book-to-film comparisons, gray moral areas and a rare instance in which we wish the film were longer!
