Episode 06.14: The Tenant

The end of the year seems like a good time for a surrealistic descent into paranoia and madness, so let's watch 1976's The Tenant. We're joined this time by friend of the podcast Michael Fogus to discuss the novel from which the film was adapted, themes of social conformity and identity, and why Isabelle Adjani is just the best.

Episode 06.13: May

Things we like: difficult women, slices of the early 2000s, and weird little films turned cult classics. Therefore, we like director Lucky McKee's 2002 film debut May. In this episode, we discuss the unique tone, story and antiheroine of this horrifically offbeat character study.

Episode 06.12: That Cold Day in the Park & 3 Women

It's Robert Altman season at QLH. We discussed his film Images a few seasons ago and it's about time we circle back to the other two films in his "woman-focused" trilogy: That Cold Day in the Park and 3 Women. We cover: dream states, women's madness, power dynamics, doubles, different dimensions and how our favorite Altman films are possibly the least Altman-esque of the bunch.

Episode 06.11: The Monkey

Happy Halloween! We celebrate with the latest from director Oz Perkins, The Monkey—which swerves a bit from his usual tone, and our usual subject matter, but we found a lens that snaps both into focus. We discuss Stephen King adaptations, the absurdity of death, and how both horror and comedy prepare us to face life.
