A Swede and a Mexican get together over a cup of coffee (or a fika, if you’re Swedish) to talk about films. This week we get an update on Algot’s Social Media break and also discuss Mau’s love for “mediocre” action/adventure treasure movies. Join us as we delve back into Yorgos Lanthimos’ mind with his 2017 movie, The Killing of a Sacred Deer. The movie stars Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman and Barry Keoghan in a psychological thriller retelling of an old Greek Tragedy. Will it be enough to have us asking “WTF did I just watch?” or simply scratching our heads in confusion?

Join us every other Thursday!

A Swede and a Mexican get together over a cup of coffee (or a fika, if you’re Swedish) to talk about films. This week we sit down to discuss surrounding ourselves with “art”, Algot’s generational identity crisis and the very talked about, controversial, 2017 movie, mother!
