For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. This month, Mandy welcomes podcast first-timer Jacob Birkinshaw to discuss mother! (lowercase first letter and exclamation point required), darren! aronofsky! 's notorious 2017 psychological horror movie! , box-office bomb! , and painstaking allegory for something! It's widely agreed that mother! is the point at which aronofsky! vanished irretrievably while spelunking inside his own intestines! , but mandy! and jacob! are here to ponder whether or not that's actually a good thing! Tune in for a deep, intense, and multilayered discussion! of what exactly the hell darren! thinks he's doing here, why jlaw!
