This week, Frank is joined by returning guest — psychotherapist and cinephile Shannon Amabile — to discuss the 1969 film They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? starring Jane Fonda and Michael Sarrazin. Set during the Great Depression, the film follows a group of desperate contestants competing in a grueling, dehumanizing dance marathon run by a sociopathic emcee. Shannon and Frank unpack the film’s haunting politics and enduring relevance.
For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching Ryan Coogler’s 2025 vampire smash hit Sinners.
