This was queued up in my podcasts right after If Books Could Kill's review/critique of "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother", and wow, the concepts are similar.

Bet the father told the boy he "had the right to defend himself" against that cat...

"keyboard switches" means something totally different in this movie

Chevy called it an Excursion because it's like a rock

Chibigodzilla

Ok, the "dancing" scene; they start with the dances from the dancing scene in Bande à part(albeit badly). How did November miss this!?

Andrew Dunn

The "kids" in the movie had already lost their baby teeth and had their adult teeth.

Squash fei

Wait I’m so confused I thought your canines do fall out???

Nikaida

This is very much a movie that I wouldn’t be able to watch due to the warnings mentioned therein, and that means I EXTRA appreciate this episode, because the conversation in the episode has been so meaningful for me. Thank you~

Andrew Dunn

Mechanical keyboard with lights, call that the electric psychedelic pussy

Puff Brake

Does anyone have any reading about the sex scenes being unsimulated? Like the Angeliki Papoulia interview November mentioned?

Clef (they-them)

Just started listening, but do they mention the X-Files episode "Home"?

Bethany Fine

In linguistics, zombie languages are those elicited by professionals from any last native speakers; their recorded voices transcend the speakers' deaths and remain as artefacts. Feels significant to that scene, obliquely.

Ben Schwabe

Lanthimos's Bond is brilliant concept that must be made real.

i wonder if kiss kiss bang bang would be a cool christmas bonus special

me: phew, after reading Flowers in the Attic last month i think i've had more than my fill for now of stories about horribly confined abused incestuous children KJB: wrong. you idiot. you bitch of a fool

Damien Tonkin

By the way is this the first time the podcast has covered a porno?

Ineloquent Reverie

Immediate headcanon drop: this is set in the dictatorship from Z

Damien Tonkin

I've had a rough week so I've been looking forward to sitting back and listening to you guys discuss this wholesome family film.

Mae Prevett

I feel like November would probably enjoy the works of tatsuki fujimoto

Maxwell Dziabis

LET’S GO ISTVG NEXT BABY

RowanCrimes

Currently listening to this a second time immediately after finishing my first listen cos I'm at work and I can't watch the movie itself til I get home

Andrew Dunn

For a lighthearted, twee, feel-good PG-13 version of this movie, check out Brigsby Bear starring Kyle Mooney. Also the Netflix original "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is about a girl who was kept in a bunker for 13 years and decided to joyfully live in NYC when she is rescued Also: holy cow this movie is absolutely about my childhood, just turned up a few notches. I was born and raised in a cult (the "2x2s", find out more on FBI dot gov or the Nightline segment on Hulu) whose signature control or whatever was that you weren't allowed to own a TV or go to the movies. We had a VHS monitor we could hide in the closet (because my dad likes movies once a month or so). We were taught that anyone outside the cult was going to hell. As an adolescent, I would watch Rocky montages to feel powerful.

Just read that David Lynch's review of this movie was that it was the best comedy he's seen in year 🙃

James Cézanne-Taipale

Rocky also won world war 2 with Michael Cain by winning a football match against the Nazis.

Jacob King

Innocence, the french one from 2004, is another movie in this weird genre. I still get anxious thinking about the final shot.

talkingsoup

thanks for saying this, i don't think i would be able to try watching this movie otherwise

Andrew Dunn

Need to know the bleeped grooming joke.

Mags

I love the idea of a detective movie about a situation like this viewed from the outside and postmortem

HAUNTER

HELLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHBHHBBBB

Mika Kurzmann-Abrams

Gonna try not to overshare in the comments, but I usually make a habit of watching the movies you cover (if I can find them) before listening to the episode, and this movie was a genuinely hard watch the first time. However, after listening to the episode, I felt like the intense horror and sorrow I had experienced through the three kids (especially Bruce!) got lifted off me like a heavy weight. As someone who is trans and is in a strange position in real life right now, I felt the hope and the drive to start working towards making life better for me so I can thrive in the future. I genuinely cannot thank y'all enough for helping me process what I watched more easily. 🫡 (this is my first Lanthimos and I'm excited to see more of his work on my own!)

Ole Edvard Evenstuen

November only picks bangers.

Lain of the Wired

sometimes your trans and then you get brain damage and have to ask "would a vampire from blindsight relate to this film" and you answer "no" and move on rip

Lain of the Wired

ok finished the episode and i def got some feelings about it.

Andrew Dunn

If anything, I'd love to see them cover Rocky and then Rocky 4, so they can see the same Signature Sly Stallone progression that Rambo had. The first Rocky movie is a quiet beautiful love story about a guy who happens to box and a neurodivergent-coded/sheltered woman. Rocky 4 is, by runtime, a plurality of montages about America and muscles.

Nah

How did that "Alps is dogtooth 2/dogteeth" bit go past without anyone doing "Dog2th"

Tall Jeff

The Rocky films and their Creed derivatives will certainly make for a good series of podcasts, there’s a lot of stuff and a lot of nothing in them.

Lain of the Wired

yeah ngl this seems like one of those movies that i gotta give a pass on cats are too sweet ;;

Jermy

It is nonetheless very disturbing

Jermy

The cat scene is faked, something Lanthimos had to prove to the British censor (you can check the BBFC about it) before the film could be released in Britain with that scene

Lain of the Wired

now to be fair my cat does also think shes the most dangerous predator in the world too

Andrew Dunn

A movie about the origins of skateboarding? I'm so looking forward to this, I don't even need to read the episode description

Nys

Not a Lanthimos movie, but also about being transgender and unfortunately also incest is the 2009 Panos Koutras movie ‚Strella‘. Watched it for a seminar I took, when I studied film studies. The seminar was about film and the concept of family, so I guess there’s another connection to dog tooth. Anyways, that’s my recommendation, if someone wants to watch more movies like that. It’s not as weird though.
