Cinematic Breadcrumbs

On this weeks episode I talk about the new a24 movie @ZOLA based on a Twitter thread from 2015, a feat in modern storytelling, and strippers on-screen with guest spot by my friend Lexi.

Directed by Janicza Bravo, from a screenplay by Bravo and Jeremy O. Harris, it stars Taylour Paige as Zola, (whose full name is A'ziah King) a part-time stripper who is convinced by her new friend (Riley Keough) to travel to Tampa, Florida, in order to earn money, only to discover that the subtext of the trip is far more than she signed up for. 

Episode details on ingloriousbaguettes.com (recent reviews section). 

This weeks episode focuses on the new David Lowry masterpiece THE GREEN KNIGHT, based on Arthurian legends anonymous poem "Sir Gawain & the Green Knight" starring Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander and Joel Edgerton.

During the slightly longer running time (sorry - there is just SO much to cover with this one!), I focus on the source material, how it was meant to be released in March of 2020 and did not make it out to the big screens until "one year hence," as well as the symbolism, costume accuracy and production design. But I don't do it alone! We are joined by special guest Reba Hayes (https://www.instagram.com/rebalikethesinger/) who has a particular knowledge of medieval history, an entertaining story about her name, and a passion for TWINS!

There will be light spoilers about the film & it is recommended to watch the film beforehand to enjoy the episode fully.
