Per annual tradition, The ARTWIFE Podcast is on spring break this month. So we're dropping in your feeds with an ep from the early days! This was only the 15th episode of the pod, and our first and only movie chat to-date. Enjoy!

It's our first-ever movie night on the pod! We're looking at Challengers, a perfect film about three self-loathing, deeply unwell people visiting psychosexual drama upon each other repeatedly for more than a decade. The stuff dreams are made of! But what does it have to do with writing? Well, everything. In this episode, we talk about the power of indoctrinating your audience/readers with sub-perceptual imagery and symbolism. We also look at the absolutely manic and a-chronological movement of this narrative through time and figure out how the hell it managed to work...and so successfully. Hop in!
