Widows (Steve McQueen and Gillian Flynn)

We review Widows, a movie about gender roles, fidelity, gun violence, power and sex, domestic abuse, race relations and policing, urban economics and politics, immigration, mourning, religion, toxic masculinity, modern art, and home security design? It's also a heist film. 

DISCLAIMER: Widows portrays violence and complex social issues. This podcasts uses adult language and sometimes addresses socio-political topics that some listeners may find annoying.

SPOILER DETAILS: We’ll spoil about the first half of Widows, and let you know before we discuss any of the twists, etc.
