What does it mean for a movie to be "problematic"? How does Mary Gaitskill's original much darker short story inform our understanding of the film? What does it mean to want something that everyone says is bad for you? How does desire open up ways outside of the well trod narrative paths of the family? What is "good representation" anyway? We discuss all of these things rolled up in the ooey gooey romance of it all!Intro and outro song is "Bless You" by the Ink Spots. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
