TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses potentially triggering subjects such as sexual assault, mental health, and eating disorders. 

Today we discuss, in honor of Ezra's birthday this past week, the 2010 psychological thriller Black Swan. It makes complete sense that this is one of Ezra's favorite films because it brilliantly blurs the line between beautiful and horrific. As artists, we can relate to Academy Award winner Natalie Portman's character being tortured by herself and her art, only with the intention of being perfect. With the exception of some critiques about the dancing from our resident dancer, Claudia, we all agree that this film is pretty close to that... perfect.
