Watching a movie where there’s some sort of secret meaning you’re supposed to interpret can be a risk — but if you didn’t get Mother! (2017), don’t worry, you’re not alone. Writer-director Darren Aronofsky had to practically go on a press tour explaining all of the nuance that went over audience members’ heads, but here at Spooky Tuesday, we’re actually the leading authority on what may or may not be the story of a certain author who famously wrote about a raven. On our latest episode, we’re unpacking all facets of the Jennifer Lawrence-led psychological thriller with a special friend as we debate Javier Bardem’s appeal, Kristen Wiig’s casting, and Michelle Pfeiffer’s real housewife potential.
