Ep. 291: Bilge Ebiri on Sundance 2025: Peter Hujar’s Day, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Sly Lives!, The Ugly Stepsister, The Thing...

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. In chilly Park City—but indoors—I sat down for another Sundance episode, this time with Bilge Ebiri of Vulture / New York magazine. Sorting through the movies we’ve seen, we talk about the new Ira Sachs movie, Peter Hujar’s Day, and the new Kiss of the Spider Woman adaptation (directed by Bill Condon), plus the documentary Sly Lives! The Burden of Black Genius (Ahmir Questlove Thompson), and two genre films: The Thing with Feathers (Dylan Southern), The Ugly Stepsister (Emilie Blichfeldt), and Together (Michael Shanks).
