Sheila:
You must be aware of your own persona, which is mysterious, almost genderless.
John:
I’m pretty knowing. I know people look at me and try to make conclusions about me immediately, based on the obvious, let’s say. And sometimes, I actually enjoy it. When I’m in front of heterosexual men-if we’re having a meeting, or whatever-from time to time I see this vulnerability in their body language and their face. Then I see their eyes glancing down to my lips, my mouth. Then I see them stop themselves, just shifting a little bit, just a little uneasy. I love it. I don’t go out of my way, but every time I get away with it, I do it.

Butterfly, the drama directed by David Cronenberg and written by David Henry Wang! What do the podcasting duo make of what is perhaps the most overlooked film in Cronenberg's career? Just why has this film been overlooked for so long? And which Magneto just so happens to be in the cast?
