Primal Screen

Holiday makers, studio heads, and unicorns! The White Lotus, The Studio, and Death of a Unicorn in Review.


Listen Later

This week, we're diving into three titles that, in their own unique ways, critique capitalist systems and corruption through humor and satire. Join Anthony Carew, Alice McShane, and Will Cox for their reviews of THE WHITE LOTUS, THE STUDIO and DEATH OF A UNICORN.

THE WHITE LOTUS has just aired its third season finale, and we have a lot to discuss. Set at the fictional high end resort The White Lotus, each season follows a group of wealthy holiday makers in increasingly luxurious locations, with one person going home in a body bag at the end of their stay.

THE STUDIO is the most recent prestige tv release from Apple Studios - and follows Seth Rogan's Matt Remick who has recently been promoted to run the fictional Continental Studios. Howver, his goal to produce films that are high in profit and high in artistic value proves a tall order.

DEATH OF A UNICORN follows a father and daughter after they accidentally hit and kill a unicorn on their way to a weekend retreat at the home of his millionaire pharmaceutical boss, who sees an opportunity to exploit the creature for profit, leading to a comedy horror that offers a gory, "eat the rich" satire of capitalism and greed.
