Description

You are NOT ready for what we have done for the 7th episode of our brilliant podcast Watch'n'Learn. So far, it's been fun and games, really. This discussion made us trespass the limits of thinkable and unthinkable. Yorgos Lanthimos is bound to become an appellative in filmmaking, we are sure of that. However, we'd loved Yorgos before it became mainstream. Get ready to dive into Lanthimos' world of awkwardness and his so-far-latest work, 2024's Kinds of Kindness, starring one-in-a-billion Emma Stone, a rising star Jesse Plemons, many-faced-always-been-old Willem Defo and it's-that-chick-from-LSD-inspired-ad Margaret Qualley.
