Meredith Graves (Perfect Pussy) Talks with Rose McGowan for The Talkhouse Film Podcast

Recorded earlier this year at Samsung 837 in NYC, an energized, provocative conversation between two of the smartest, most engaged artists around.

On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film podcast, Perfect Pussy frontwoman talks with actress, director, singer and activist Rose McGowan. Their wide-ranging and compelling conversation touches on McGowan's troubled time in Hollywood; her move into directing; systemic misogyny, gender hypocrisy and violence against women; the no-holds-barred book she's currently writing, and much more – including a surprising and revelatory detour into their respective feelings about death.

The music featured in the podcast is as follows:
1. Intro / outro underscore: “Plastic Man vs. The Giant Red Phase Of The Sun” – Iced Ink

Episode engineered by Talkhouse podcast producer Elia Einhorn and edited by Mark Yoshizumi.
