No real trigger warnings this time: they discuss their relationship with addiction, what they’re struggling with, and what they’re not struggling with.

403. Shooting Threes: 50 Shades Darker
July 29, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBAs we learned, this franchise is not really a story as much as a continuous series of fantasy scenes. Good thing we have Sarah and Bridgett to walk us through it.

As always, we have our theories as to why Emmerich uses specific lenses, staging, and POV to evoke a thesis and an emotional response from you. Does it work? Will we ever figure out what’s happening with the podcast’s introduction guy? Is he dead? Is he a ghost? What’s going on there...
