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.
