## Resource

Meisner technique. Hal Ashby movies. These are obviously the topics you expect to come up in relation to the 1996 softcore FEMALIEN, so of course we talk about those topics and more! We're joined this week by the lovely actress, writer, and producer Asta Paredes, who helps us dissect this good-hearted piece of seminal Skinemax sleaze with way more thought and attention than it probably needs.
