  • Summary

  • This week, the great Andrew Jagielski joins us for the second and (sadly) final collaboration between Colin Farrell and Yorgos Lanthimos. That's right, it's 2017's postmodern Greek tragedy The Killing of a Sacred Deer, in which Colin plays a hypocritical surgeon whose family is placed under a curse by a teenage boy he once wronged. We delve into how this film works as an expression of Lanthimos' style and as a star vehicle for Colin, and sort through our feelings on the uglier side of Lanthimos' obtuse worldview on the edge of a populist reinvention. Along the way we touch on the birth of movie star Barry Keoghan, A24's off kilter 2017 and the development of their house brand, and Colin and Nicole Kidman's big Cannes film festival and the tumultuous events that occurred on the Croisette (with a little tease for next week). Plus, somehow, we get into a knock down drag out fight about Taylor Swift, the most Lanthimosian of pop stars.
