Summary
In this episode of 15 | A Film Review Podcast, in preparation for the Oscars, Luke Oddie and Dan Wade review two of the biggest contenders.
To begin with, the duo review Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. The comedy-drama is set in the winter of 1970–71 and stars Paul Giamatti as a strict classics teacher who is forced to chaperone a handful of students with nowhere to go over Christmas break. Co-stars Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa play the school cafeteria manager and one of the students who stays on campus, respectively.
Then, Luke and Dan discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things. Starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe, and based on the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, the plot follows Bella Baxter, a young woman in Victorian London, who is resurrected by a scientist and embarks on an odyssey of self-discovery.
