Show notes

We review and discuss Céline Sciamma's gripping "ode to the female [gays]," Portrait of a Lady on Fire because Rebekah saw it three times in theaters in under a week. In our first foray into new releases, we cover portrayals of abortion, woman-to-woman attraction, and what it means for a film to be apatriarchal. Sound design, (lack of a) soundtrack, furtive glances, and the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice also color the discussion. Come for the film analysis, stay for Joel's completely unbelievable stories about his Gender Studies curriculum (and also why science makes you gay). Follow us on Twitter: @MotionPicPals Motion Picture Pals is co-hosted by Cam Call , Rebekah Markillie , Joel Aleman , and producer Travis Lien . Join the podcast Discord to get in on the discussions.
