Summary

Look out for UFOs and stay away from Froot Loops because we're discussing Gregg Araki's tender-yet-traumatizing adaptation Mysterious Skin (2004). Tagging in for the conversation is RogerEbert.com Assistant Editor and The Spool founder & EIC Clint Worthington. Join us as we have many difficult conversations about a film filled to the brim with controversial subject matter. From Joseph Gordon Levitt and Brady Corbet's heartbreaking performances to the accurate depiction of the long-term effects of child sex abuse, there's no shortage of things to talk about. Plus: a defense of the single working mother, praise for Michelle Trachtenberg, MPAA woes (again) and the journey of Scott Heim's source novel from page to screen.
