Episode 218: ROSEMARY'S BABY

<p>Amidst the current political climate we thought it would be fun to cover the most iconic film about a troubled pregnancy, Roman Polanski's <em>Rosemary's Baby</em>. Itself an adaptation of Ira Levin's novel, the film covers a range of themes including the sense of alienation during pregnancy, lack of agency as everyone tells you what to do and feel about the upcoming child, and a lack of self as your entire world becomes about raising a child. We talk about all these themes, what it means to have Polanski in the context of this feministic portrayal, and a whole lot more. Women - so hysterical when they're growing a demon child!</p> <p>We're drinking Scantic River Brewing's Raspberry Streamsicle IPA with vanilla, raspberry, and lactose.</p> <p><strong>Approximate timeline</strong></p> <p>0:00-13:00 Intro<br> 13:00-20:00 Beer talk<br> 20:00-end <em>Rosemary's Baby</em></p> <p>Up next: <em>Smokey and the Bandit</em></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/bloodandblackrum/support</a>
