364 – Bones and All

What this episode covers

With Halloween this week and Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt now in theatres, what better time to discuss the BONES! The 2022 fall festival season felt like the first real movie moment post-COVID and anticipation was high for Guadagnino reuniting with his Call Me By Your Name star, Timothee Chalamet. Bones and All was a tale of young love and primal urges, an emotional cannibalism story set in the midwest that placed Chalamet opposite the emergent Taylor Russell. Despite the film earning some devoted fans (spoiler: including us!), this gory Badlands riff was probably never going to please the Academy. This episode, we talk about the divisive reactions that have met some of Guadagnino’s work, including this and After the Hunt. We also talk about Chalamet’s ascent towards Marty Supreme, Russell’s breakout in Waves, and our favorite Luca movies. And surprise: Chloe Sevigny Six Timers quiz! Topics also include Mark Rylance doing his best Mr. Herbert, the film’s allegorical interpretations, and the 2022 Venice Film Festival.
