Sometimes I like going to a movie without knowing anything about it, just walking into the

theater, almost blind, sitting down, seeing what happens.

I did this recently with a movie called Triangle of Sadness.

All I knew is that it won the biggest prize at Con Film Festival this year, which is called

The Palm Door.

A Triangle of Sadness is a dark comedy about a model and an influencer, and it's a social commentary.

But about a third of the way through, it gets very dark and very physical, and I was entirely

unprepared. Basically, they're on a luxury yacht and there's a storm outside and the boat starts

rocking really wildly. And almost everyone on the cruise starts vomiting. It was approximately

18 minutes of vomiting. So much that I actually thought I might vomit so I had to get up and

go outside and listen to it from

outside of the door until it was over, and then I came back in. And the message to me was pretty

clear. It was, the rich should be punished. The director's name is Ruben Oslund, and he seemed to take

real pleasure in putting the 1% on a boat

in making them suffer.

So when I talked to Rubin recently for this episode, I was surprised that he actually doesn't

think of this film in those terms at all.

First of all, I want to say, I'm not the fan of the, how to say, advertisement of the

movie as an Eat the Rich movie, because what I

actually tried to do was to portray everybody as nice. Everybody's failing in my movies,

but everyone is failing. Not only the rich people are failing, everyone is failing.

Actually, a lot of major critics read Triangle of Sadness as an Eat the Rich movie.
