Sordid Cinema Podcast #516: ‘Colossal,’ alcoholism, toxic masculinity, abuse, xenophobia, and more

In another fiercely divided episode, Les Chappell of the AV Club sits in en lieu of host Ricky D for a knotted discussion of Nacho Vigalondo’s hybrid sci-fi-drama-whatsit Colossal. Two of us hated it, one loved it, and yet no one quite sees eye to eye. Somehow this curious little movie causes us to talk about alcoholism, toxic masculinity, the definition of abuse, xenophobia, and plenty more delightfully light-hearted subject matter. *Warning: tharr be spoilers.*
