In Alex Ross Perry’s HER SMELL, Elisabeth Moss gives a performance that for Adam and Josh evokes Gena Rowlands iconic work in “A Woman Under the Influence” and a punk rock Lady Macbeth. Moss’s Becky Something is the drug-addled, manic and abusive lead singer of a 90s-era rock band that’s fallen on hard times. It’s also, according to Adam, the best film of the year so far.

Also on the show: 1949’s ON THE TOWN, the first in a four-film Stanley Donen Marathon. Plus Josh’s report from this year’s Ebert Interruptus and the return of Massacre Theatre.
