Episode 187: Identity

Picture us in an orange grove... but first we have to stop by a rustic old rainy motel where the guests are as varied as their birthdays are the same, and some mysterious forces are taking them down one by one. It's James Mangold's IDENTITY on this week's continuation of #inthemourning, exploring Season 2 of HBO's THE LEFTOVERS and films with paradigm-shifting narratives.

We are joined this week once again by foreign correspondent, Vera Goudie wherein, after a brief, habitual stopover in Jarden, Texas for episodes 5 & 6 of THE LEFTOVERS, we dive into the pulpy slasher whodunit from James Mangold and unpack a surprising exploration about the multitude of inner voices we each carry in conflict with each other, and the ways that some pressure-cooker climates can force us, not to reconcile our disparate thoughts, but to begin dropping our vital inner contrasts one by one.

It's a fascinating and fun conversation this week and we hope you enjoy it!
