The Lobster

This week, the great Genevieve Jacobson joins us, after months in Colin's flop era, to talk about a good movie. That's right, we've finally arrived at The Lobster, Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos' Cannes winning and Oscar nominated English language debut. The film stars Colin as a man in a surreal future forced to find a partner or be turned into the titular crustacean, and we find a lot to dig into regarding the film's philosophical underpinnings, aesthetic oddities, and morbid sense of humor. Along the way we touch on the beginnings of Colin's comeback, the odd circumstances that led to his getting the role, the film's messy and delayed release, our broader feelings on Lanthimos' body of work, and, most importantly, what animal we'd each choose to become. The answers are very revealing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
