A story about loneliness, unconditional love, objectophilia, and TITANIUM.

Listen in as me and fellow podcaster and returning guest, Al, dress up like crash test dummies and prepare for a head-on collision between our minds and this controversial award-winner.

Written and directed by Julia Ducournau (Raw, Servant), the Playlist called the film "deliciously grisly and inventive," while the Guardian said it was "sheer silliness and towering pointlessness." Must be one of those critics that hates to read subtitles.

It tells the story of car model/stripper Alexia, a daring performance from newcomer Agathe Rousselle, as she dances on a Cadillac, has sex with said Cadillac, kills people, and runs from her life. Disguising herself as a missing boy returning a decade after his disappearance, Alexia becomes Andre and goes to live with the boy's father, Vincent (Vincent Lindon, Undercover, The Measure of a Man). Vincent is a fire chief and brings "Andre" into the world of firefighting, but one fireman has suspicions about who the boy really is...

The film is currently available on Hulu, Amazon Prime, DVD and Blu-Ray.
