On this week’s podcast, Dylan was joined by Jason R. Gray to talk about 2014’s Under the Skin.
Here’s a look what you can expect to hear about:
- Netflix original series Master of None
- Perspective and the film’s ability to make earth and humanity alien
- Morality as an evolved survival trait
- The main character’s innocent predator and her relationship with her human suit
- Scarlett Johansson as the film’s meta-black widow
- Art as a source of pleasure vs. as a source of conflict
- The seedy underbelly of humanity
- Exposing the silliness of arousal, particularly in men
