Episode 98: The Shape of Water (2017)


Listen Later

It's the second half of Mermay and we're back with a different spin on the human and fish as lovers trope with The Shape of Water (2017) directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Sally Hawkins, Doug Jones, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Octavia Spencer.
In this episode, we discuss del Toro's love of Universal Monsters and his religious inspiration, and finding love and community as an outsider.
Our recommendation: Amélie (2001), Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022)
Watch del Toro's interview on Popcorn with Peter Travers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otts5vS_f8o
