DISCLAIMER: This episode contains spoilers in the film. Please be aware before listening.

Ricky and Brittany review two films that explore themes of isolation, gender roles and women being driven nearly mad.

DWD: A 1950s housewife (Florence Pugh) living with her husband (Harry Styles) in a utopian experimental community begins to worry that his glamorous company could be hiding disturbing secrets.

MEN: Harper (Jesse Buckley) retreats to the countryside to be alone in the wake of a tragedy, but her unease at the town's leering and uncannily similar men grows into a fully fledged nightmare as her arrival awakens something primal in the forest.

Corrections:
MEN - The film showed an apple being eaten.
