This episode we’re dissecting two of the best movies of the decade: Under The Skin & Arrival

Lots of spoilers for both movies. There’s an audio issue for the first half of the podcast, but the Arrival discussion is at our normal quality.

WPT is a podcast for adults; we use adult language and discuss mature topics with liberal POV.
