mother! (2017) feat. Ghouls Next Door
Feb 16, 2022•2 hr 59 min•Ep 165•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Grab your crystal heart and prepare for combustion. For 2017's "underseen or underrated" entry, we've recruited Gabe & Kat of Ghouls Next Door to discuss Darren Aronofsky's big budget flop: mother!
The Jennifer Lawrence movie is more endurance experience than film and features a messy mix of religious, environmental and creative allegories that definitely contributed to its F Cinemascore.
Needless to say, there's lot of unpack, including plenty of Biblical connections (why is Michelle Pfeiffer's Eve such a c*nt?!), conservation pleas (get off the damn sink!) and potential autobiographical ties (Aronofsky's treatment of J. Law, his former girlfriend and muse). It's a lot...just like this movie!
