Spoilers abound as we discuss Jane Campion's masterful Western/Hitchcockian thriller The Power of the Dog. It's the rare movie that turns out at the end to be a completely different movie — and even in a completely different genre — than we thought at the beginning. 

We explore questions like: 

—who or what "the dog" of the title is

—performative masculinity

—whether there's a bad guy

—Peter's sexuality

—whether Rose was ever good at piano

We hope you enjoy listening this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.
