Under The Skin

The good times are over! This week, the girls treat themselves to a masterful and bleak bit of sci-fi horror all about the existential dread of being a woman. Scarlett Johansson gives her best performance in this piece of accidental trans cinema, and we're here to dig into every beautiful, haunting second of it. It's sad, it's great, you'll love it.
