THE KITCHEN, THE PERFECTION, THEM THAT FOLLOW and MIDSOMMAR revisited on Episode #265

Elisabeth Moss, Melissa McCarthy, and Tiffany Haddish stand seriously in the movie The Kitchen
Elisabeth Moss, Melissa McCarthy, and Tiffany Haddish deserve better than THE KITCHEN

This week Kris recounts the time he couldn’t go to Lenin’s Tomb because it was “closed for inventory,” leaving Evan and returning guest Megan Kearns completely confused. Megan leads off the episode by describing two films she saw recently THEM THAT FOLLOW (4:11), a somber film about religion and snake charming, and THE PERFECTION (10:00), a more engaging movie about classical musicians that takes some fascinating twists and turns before spiraling into body horror. Then Evan shares his experience watching Ari Aster’s MIDSOMMAR (14:05), which may or may not be “an Evan movie.” Lastly, all three of them dissect THE KITCHEN (28:50), a disappointing kitchen-sink crime drama chock full of critical themes about gender, race, and class that it only superficially addresses, and thinly drawn characters whose motivations don’t make any sense.
