Calling all independent film fans! In this episode, Shelby and Laura review the critically acclaimed and eccentric film, Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. We discuss the amazing performances by the ensemble cast, especially Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, explain why Alfie (Bella's ex-husband) is the true villain of the movie, dive into the themes of gender roles, freedom, and sexuality, highlight our favorite moments, including Bella and Duncan's iconic dancing scene, and debate whether having no filter is a green flag.
