#198 – The Killing of a Sacred Deer | Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (with Clayton Jones II of Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies Podcast)

Tune in as Clayton Jones II (Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies Podcast) heads back to this program for a review and recap of The Killing of a Sacred Deer, the 2017 film that follows a cardiovascular surgeon and his family as their meticulous and pristine life starts to collapse at the hands of a teenage boy. The knack that director Yorgos Lanthimos has for showing the darkest and most grotesque horrors in such a blackly comedic light, cold and lifeless sex scenes, the delightfully awkward use of Ellie Goulding’s “Burn,” and Eden Lake being mean enough of a movie to inspire Arthur to create a whole new Letterboxd tag comprise a few of the talking points for this episode.Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, The Killing of a Sacred Deer stars Colin Farrell, Barry Keoghan, Nicole Kidman, Raffey Cassidy, Sunny Suljic, Bill Camp, Alicia Silverstone, and Denise Dal Vera.Spoilers start at 22:10Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere’s how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Clayton: Severance (Apple TV+) and American Primeval (Netflix)• Arthur: CompanionReach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
