We talk about Darren Aronofsky's 2000 film, Requiem for a Dream. Based on the 1978 book by Hubert Selby, Jr., it tells the tale of four New Yorkers whose lives spiral out of control due to addiction.

We've got a star-studded line-up of guests on this one including our co-host from The Feminine Critique, Emily Intravia.
