#65: The Perfect "Companion" (2025)

from Cinematic Breadcrumbs

"Companion" (2025) is "Barbarian" creator Drew Hancock's latest horror comedy treat. A perfect date night movie, it follows a girl who goes to a cabin weekend with her boyfriends friend group that goes horribly awry. Falling somewhere between 2011's "You're Next" and the masterful 2014 "Ex Machina," "Companion" explores gender politics, the ethics of technology and modern love. I also talk Met Gala 2025 & what I've been reading lately. Follow the Instagram @ingloriousbaguettesRelevant links:First Monday in May documentaryRihanna, Laura Harrier, Khabane Lame, Mindy Kaling, Janelle MonaeInterview with Sophie Thatcher & Jack QuaidNBP Episode on CompanionPop Culture HH Episode on Companion
