Joker: Folie a Deux & The Substance

Greetings Programs!  We’re back after an impromptu hiatus with two new episodes, of which this is one!  Join us for a conversation about Joker: Folie à Deux by Todd Phillips and The Substance by Coralie Fargeat.  These are both divisive, singular works of filmmaking, but do they both work?  Listen to find out!

Trailer: What Maisie Knew

What Maisie Knew

Have you had your heartstrings tuggeed recently? No? Well watch this trailer then.

I haven’t read _What Maisie Knew_ but I am aware of the plot. Updating it from it’s 1890s context to now is makes a lot of sense.

It’ll be interesting to see how much of the original criticism comes through.
