There are cult movies, and then there are movies about cults. We enjoy both, but this week, we have a conversation about a movie that falls into the latter category. It's called "Sound Of My Voice", and it's sort of a response pick to the podcast we did a few months ago on "The East".
How does Sound Of My Voice stack up against the bigger budget and more complicated plot of The East? Is depicting a cult leader in a nuanced way something to be praised, or something to be scorned? Just how full of shit is Maggie (Brit Marling) in this movie? And how does the central relationship in Sound Of My Voice play into the dynamics of a cult?
