122 - Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Finishing with our third International film in a row leads us to Spain, Pedro Almodovar, and a Patreon selected pick: “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”. Join the guys at 1001 by 1 as they discuss whether or not this is a “screwball comedy”, Almodovar’s sense of style, and perhaps the greatest performance of a Jehovah’s Witness ever captured on film. Adam and Ian also discuss some of Almodovar’s other films; specifically “Talk to Her” & “Volver”. Also, this week Ian recommends “Gerogetown” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Adam recommends “Primal Fear” (available on HBO Max). 0:00 – Intros/No More “Wonderful”/Follow Up on “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” 4:27 – “Those Who Wish Me Dead” (Potential Spoilers) 9:26 – “Georgetown” 13:48 – “Primal Fear” 18:37 – “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” – Stats/History 25:27 – “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown” – Plot/Thoughts 55:32 – Final Thoughts/Replacements
