Summary

Open wide and brace yourself because we are going deep on Adam Egypt Mortimer's Daniel Isn't Real (2019). Joining us for the psychological thrill ride is Scarred For Life's Terry Mesnard, who provides plenty of art history education as we attempt to unpack the film's many readings. Obviously we have to tackle the homoerotic elephant in the room, but there's also plenty to say about the film's complicated relationship with mental illness (sidebar: spoilers for Lights Out). Plus: discussions of consent, deep throating jokes, wanting more Mary Stuart Masterson and which surprising Cronenberg film inspired the sex scenes Questions? Comments? Snark?
