On the latest episode of The Insatiable Content Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Kate Babineau to discuss Netflix's new movie "The Lost Daughter" and all things Elena Ferrante. The movie, which was directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and stars the always amazing Olivia Coleman, is based on a Ferrante work and deals with a lot of her favorite themes like how to be an independent adult woman, while also being a mother. It's a haunting film with a lot to say about sacrifice and the way our choices are always wrong, and therefore end up haunting us no matter what we do. Kate and I covered the followed:

  • Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels (the My Brilliant Friend series)
  • The New Yorker article "Janet Lansbury’s Gospel of Less Anxious Parenting"
  • The Last Duel
  • The Town
  • HBO Max's dominance
  • The Velvet Underground
  • Mardi Gras
