Season 2 Episode 24 - Close Up: Pedro Almodovar

Written By Layered Butter

Sex. Love. Queerness. Colour. Family. In this week's episode of the Layered Butter Podcast; Rod, Raf & Jordan venture into the Pride of Spanish filmmaking through the eyes of Pedro Almodovar.  Rooted in thematic bloodlines of gay/queer culture & self identity, Almodovar has cemented himself as one of cinemas most internationally revered voices. From the melodrama in Talk To Her to even horror/thriller elements in The Skin I Live In, Almodovar ventures deep into familial history, sisterhood and identity across all of his work. Also, the pod dives into Lightyear's ban in the Middle East, a new EGOT and the Joker returns as a musical? All of this and MORE in the (maybe) penultimate episode of Layered Butter!
