TALK TO HER. The only recognition that Pedro Almodovar’s pretentious Talk to Her deserves is as the year’s most overrated film. Though beautifully shot and populated with a set of unusually complicated characters, Talk to Her shamelessly and outrageously asks its audience to sympathize with a rapist. The film manages, paradoxically, to be both sloppily edited and deadeningly self-conscious.

Originally from Omaha, Mendenhall and David Broecker (bass) played together for eight years in various guitar bands before moving into piano song writing in Seattle. Although the city is most famous for its early 90s grunge scene, Seattle is now home to a healthy indie pop scene that includes Pedro the Lion and Death Cab For Cutie. The Prom joined the burgeoning scene about three years ago, when Mendenhall and Broecker teamed up with drummer Joel Brown...
