Welcome back friends! Have you ever ran into your double? What would you do? That's the question at the center of Enemy, maybe... It's a question that's intrigued fiction writers for decades, if not longer. And has even been the subject of media and journalism with stories such as the Triplets (documented best in Three Identical Strangers). Here, we get Denis Villeneuve approaching the topic with a small budget, small cast, and small scope focused on the discomfort and uncertainty that follows in those moments. This week, we discuss doubles, sex, spiders, femininity and masculinity, metaphors, and much, much more. Tune in now!
