    BONUS: Roma (2018)

    For our epilogue, we take you back to our beginning for a special bonus episode of our pilot: Roma (2018) directed by Alfonso Cuarón, a black-and-white drama about a live-in maid overcoming personal trauma intersecting with the political turmoil of Mexico City in the 1970's. This episode functioned as our proof-of-concept for this podcast and we've left it more "raw" to showcase our humble beginnings and how far we've come through two full seasons. Enjoy our very first conversation on foreign film, in which we chat about this film's gorgeous cinematography, the Mexican Dirty War, and the inspiring arc of our protagonist, Cléo.
