Critics Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder are joined again by Slate's June Thomas to discuss 2021's Parallel Mothers. We talk about Penélope's stunning performance, how disconnected the two halves of the film seem, and jackets.You can reach us at allaboutfilmpod@gmail.com

Hello, listeners. We are starting a new season focused on a new director, specifically New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion. You can find the link to our new feed here!

Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder discuss two of Almodóvar's most controversial films. First we talk about 1993's Kika, its uncontrollable plot, and how oddly the only scene that seems to work is the one where Almodóvar attempts to make rape funny. Then we get into 2011's The Skin I Live In, the film that divided us the most. We go through the chilly horror of it all, the movie's approach to the physical body, and why it made the skin Daniel lives in crawl.Podcast production by Daniel Schroeder.
