Ep 229 Happy Ending

We present a spoiler free look at director Jennifer Wolfe’s debut feature “Happy Ending”. A couple losing the spark in their relationship seek advice from friends who recommend a trip to a massage parlour with “extras”. An already uneasy and awkward visit for the pair is reflected in the back rooms of the parlour, where the workers are troubled by their situation and the obsessive attentions of a dangerous former customer. Events spiral into an eruption of chaos and violence, drawing everyone into the maelstrom. Whilst that may sound like pure thriller fare, what sets “Happy Ending” apart is that it’s also extremely funny; our two main leads are engaging and realistic, their comfortable but strained partnership brings the laughs as they navigate their way through the tribulations of their relationship, and, latterly, attempt to get out of the deadly situation alive. A big thank you to Jennifer Wolfe for reaching out to us (on recommendation from previous guest, “Bampire” director Zoë Wassman) and giving us the opportunity to view this excellent comedy/thriller. “Happy Ending” is currently streaming on Amazon Prime, Plex and Fandango ar Home, and we urge you to seek it out!
