For our seventy-first episode, we’re joined by author, critic, and podcast superstar Alonso Duralde (“Hollywood Pride”, “Maximum Film”) for a discussion of the only commentary from renowned Spanish auteur Pedro Almodovar, on his 2002 Oscar-winning film “Talk to Her”. Amongst the things discussed: symbolic lava lamps, an X-rated take on “The Incredible Shrinking Man”, alternate (better?) titles, the Spanish word for ‘bullfighter’, the crucial use of curtains to connect to Almodovar’s previous film, your host’s inability to conjure a proper Spanish accent, and so much more. Recommendations: “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” (1988), “Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!” (1989), and “All About My Mother” (1999) For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
