Loved this piece and the podcast. You mention “intellectual insecurity” as a root of the insistence that to analyze art is snobbery, I was curious to hear you elaborate; what exactly are people like Brad Jones so scared of in regards to a movie like Salo actually meaning something? Is it because they think deeper meaning ruins the escapism?
