    Sam & Lizzie take to the stage with special guest Clint Bowie to break down the endless subtext of Tár, starring Cate Blanchett. Every inch of this film is a reference and we peel through every layer. We'll arm you with enough knowledge to feel superior next time you're in a group of your closest pretentious friends. As well as enough lesbian outfit inspiration to last you a lifetime. Bravo!
