In this episode, I talk about the new Pedro Almodovar movie starring Penelope Cruz "Parallel Mothers," an Oscar nominated film that dives into motherhood, generational trauma, and  unique connections. I saw this at NYFF in fall 2021 with a Q&A, so I talk about some of the anecdotes from behind the scenes and my thoughts on the movie.
