Finishing with our third International film in a row leads us to Spain, Pedro Almodovar, and a Patreon selected pick: “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”. Join the guys at 1001 by 1 as they discuss whether or not this is a “screwball comedy”, Almodovar’s sense of style, and perhaps the greatest performance of a Jehovah’s Witness ever captured on film. Adam and Ian also discuss some of Almodovar’s other films; specifically “Talk to Her” & “Volver”. Also, this week Ian recommends “Gerogetown” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Adam recommends “Primal Fear” (available on HBO Max).
