Episode 261: Episode 261 - Armand, Cries and Whispers (1972)

On the two hundred and sixty-first episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are confined to a claustrophobic setting.Christian and Jericho are onto 2025 with a review of the Norwegian chamber drama ARMAND (without Armando!), which is directed by the grandson of Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann. With that prestigious heritage in mind, they decide to pair it with Bergman's soul-crushing 1972 classic CRIES AND WHISPERS. But first, THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES (1996), SWEET CHARITY (1969), and A DIFFERENT MAN (2024) gets bandied about in the Recently Watched segment. They also react to The Oscars broadcast, mourn the dissolution of the Brody bump, and get deep with thoughts on metaphoric horror and failed symbolism.Subscribe to Jericho's Substack: symbioticreviews.substack.comKeep in touch with us on Instagram and email us anytime at: [email protected]
