Why Did Gravity Win So Many Oscars?

Woman Inherits the Earth: Gravity

In this, the Gravity episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss the artistic work of Alfonso Cuaron and why Gravity is not our favorite of his films, themes of survival and loss in the film, how difficult the film was to make, how it compares to films like The Martian and Children of Men, and our thoughts on the depiction of grief and motherhood.

Content warning: discussions of grief, child death, su*cide.

Additional spoilers for Parasite and Shape of Water.

A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.

Special thanks to aceinet, who recorded our intro and outro song, “Floyd Filtertron DA Shuffle.”
