Trivia Night! Movie Time? Romance and Loneliness Edition

MASKulinity Podcast

Happy Thursday! It’s movie night AND trivia time on MASKulinity this week. Remoy and Samantha give each other their favorite film recommendations that expose MASKulinity in different ways.

• One is a thoughtful indie about a father-daughter vacation. It explores themes of loneliness, mental health issues, and human connection, using beautiful cinematic devices. We’ll give you a few hints—it’s not an American film and it’s a coming-of-age story, perhaps not for whom you might think.
• The other is making waves on Netflix. A covert office romance gone wrong. A high-power couple sees their relationship tested in the battleground that is Wall Street when one unsuspectedly gets a promotion. The filmmaker asks a pertinent question: Why does a woman being powerful make a man feel powerless?
• There are spoilers in the companion pieces—you’ve been warned!
