"Are you food, or are you sex?"

The Whole Movie Podcast - A podcast by A Bigger Umbrella

Now that Roxana, Jordan, and William have laid the groundwork for The Neon Demon, your co-hosts are back in the second episode to get more granular with it. "Are you food or are you sex?" examines the central question of the film, one that is posed where so many issues of consequence are raised on matters of truth and beauty: The women's bathroom at a club. Soaked in bisexual lighting and dripping with cruelty, it's a scene that teases Nicolas Winding Refn's "ceremonial celebration of narcissism" that lies at the heart of Demon, and has your hosts addressing questions like, "Are these models a take on Dracula's brides?" and "Would you eat the eyeball?" Listen, and consider! Produced by: Jordan Crucchiola
