Today on the show, we continue our series looking at the films of Darren Aronofsky. We aren’t going strictly in chronological order, but rather curating them in pairs. Part 2 is called “Male Suffering,” and we’re looking at the films The Wrestler (2008) and The Whale (2022).

Joining me for this series is my friend Michael J. Dougherty, a filmmaker and disability advocate who always elevates the discourse when he comes on. Have a listen!
