An environmental allegory of biblical proportions,\u00a0<i>mother!<\/i>\u00a0arrived after a cryptic marketing campaign with few plot details beyond the promise of a horror spectacle and megastar Jennifer Lawrence at the forefront. Loved by some critics and loudly reviled by most audiences, any Oscar hopes or predictions evaporated once we saw what the film actually was.<\/p>\n<p>for our 100th episode, we\u2019re going all in on a film bursting with talking points, from Lawrence and Aronofsky\u2019s romantic relationship (and how that shadowed readings on the film) to Michelle Pfeiffer rude and horny stand-in for Eve. Though Aronofsky was vocal to the press after release about what the film represents, we examine multiple possible threads of interpretation in its madness. We also look at Jennifer Lawrence fatigue among audiences, the history of F Cinemascores, and the goriest swag you\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>And since this is such a milestone episode, we take some time to look back on our favorites from previous episodes.
