Episode 520 - "Kinds of Kindness," "Conversion," and "A Family Affair"
Manage episode 426073933 series 83148
This week Megan saw Yorgos Lanthimos’s KINDS OF KINDNESS (2:28), a whackadoo triptych fable starring Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, and Willem Dafoe. It’s getting all kinds of raves but also some drubbings — including Megan’s. Evan, Megan, and Dave watched CONVERSION (15:15), Zach Meiners's documentary about survivors — the film’s director, an ex-Mormon woman, and a famous drag queen — of so-called conversion therapy (programs designed to make queer kids straight, but in reality it’s trauma-inducing psychobabble). We had mixed reactions. Finally, everyone weighed in on A FAMILY AFFAIR (45:45), a rom-com directed by Richard LaGravenese and written by Carrie Solomon starring Joey King, Nicole Kidman, and Zac Efron as three garbage humans apparently more interested in ruining each others’ lives than anything else. Reactions were not mixed. But we had fun taking it apart! And over on Patreon, our Pride Month poll winner is TRICK, a 1999 gay rom-com starring Christian Campbell, J.P. Pitoc, and — that’s right — Tori Spelling.
