072 THE LAMB (Brian subjects Leah to an intriguing art-horror film trailer)


Listen Later

You know how you do that thing where you watch an intriguing trailer for an artsy horror film and then make all your friends watch it? Here we are. In The Lamb, forthcoming this fall, a couple tries to raise a lamb (?) as if it is their own child (?), and the lamb then morphs into something like a human (?), and some difficult things happen when the lamb parents come to reclaim their own (?). With a side discourse on Israel’s experience in the desert with flying snakes.

Watch the trailer and join in our confused glee: The Lamb (2021), https://youtu.be/hnEwJKVWjFM
