Put on your spandex, avoid the sangria and stay out of the electrical closet because this week's "underrated or underseen" entry is Gaspar Noé's Climax (2019).
Joining us on this (acid) trip is writer Matt Cipolla, who brings a wealth of Noé knowledge, as well as nihilist philosophy like E. M. Cioran's aphorisms.
We discuss Noé as a troll and why the film is (or isn't?) political and racist, as well as the unorthodox & collaborative production, child murder and more than a few drug stories.
Plus: why Trace will never watch this again, speculation about who lives and dies, and the comfort of rewatching the dance sequences.
