at one of Maggie’s most formative horror movies. Black Swan is a movie we’ve been thinking about for thirteen years - the symbolism is so rich, the performances are so incredibly strong, and its insights into the desperation of the creative process are both profound and ever-evolving. As we return to the movie now, older and wiser(?), we have totally different reads on it than we did in 2010. This episode is a conversation between those perspectives, between us and our younger selves, and between this astounding work of art and its titanic creative lineage.

For this second Summerween episode, we’re looking at one of Maggie’s most formative horror movies. Black Swan is a movie we’ve been thinking about for thirteen years - the symbolism is so rich, the performances are so incredibly strong, and its insights into the desperation of the creative process are both profound and ever-evolving. As we return to the movie now, older and wiser(?), we have totally different reads on it than we did in 2010. This episode is a conversation between those perspectives, between us and our younger selves, and between this astounding work of art and its titanic creative lineage.
