The Scot and the Swede

Ep 1 - Double Feature: POOR THINGS / EASY A


Listen Later

For our first episode, we pair Poor Things (2023) with Easy A (2010) to discuss Emma Stone, Spider-Man cast crossovers and even make a courageous attempt to touch on the difficulties for women to exercise sexual agency in a corrupt, patriarchal system... Yup. If you also have been thinking that we need a podcast where boys talk about movies made by boys, that deal with the hardships of female sexuality. Think no more!


The Scot and the Swede will delve deep into the weeds of duck-pigs and bubble-burps in Yorgos Lanthimos psychadelic fairytale.

Before we get to the bottom of whether Stanley Tucci was Emma Stone's biological father and what the heck is up with all those oranges in Easy A?


Josh also has a classic Scottish folk horror to recommend, while Mårten watched a Swedish documentary and finally realised that all docus aren't boring.
