Summary

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Tom O'Brien. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from director Yorgos Lanthimos, "Poor Things," starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott & Jerrod Carmichael. Re-uniting Lanthimos, Stone, and screenwriter Tony McNamara after the award-winning success of "The Favourite," their latest collaboration has received even more positive reviews, winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was a highlight on this year's film festival circuit. What do we think of it now that it has finally been released in theaters? Tune in as we discuss the story, its soon-to-be iconic cinematic heroin, the performances, design, and overall aesthetic for one of the year's most well-crafted films, and more, including its awards season chances, in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
