Welcome back to the Horror Pod Class! Today we are talking about the movie, Mother! Not the Danzig Song. Not the Mike Pence catchphrase. No, we are talking about the super weird fever dream of a movie that captured our hearts (pun intended). There is a lot to unpack about this movie, including the biblical imagery and the discussion about how art is perceived, but there is a really cool undercurrent of philosophical themes related to Deep Ecology and Eco-Feminism.
