In this episode, Cole joins me to discuss Almodóvar's latest collaboration with Penélope Cruz, Parallel Mothers. This conversation starts with an exploration of history, and how the celebrated Spanish director deftly balances melodrama, rich character, humor and history, even five decades into his storied career. We also take some time to discuss Almodóvar's most beloved film, All About My Mother, which has many parallels (rimshot) not only to Parallel Mothers, but many movies throughout the director's oeuvre.
