Director Brady Corbet has made an epic about architecture, artistry, money and power called The Brutalist, and we have some "thoughts" about it along with Ayn Rand, pretentiousness and the white elephant/termite theory of filmmaking.

10 years after changing the world of documentary cinema with "The Act of Killing" and "The Look of Silence", director Joshua Oppenheimer returns to our screens with a post-apocalyptic musical. "The End" is a film about the lies we tell ourselves, the destruction these cause, and the love and hope that such lies deny us.

So it’s time to talk about “Babygirl” from director Halina Reijn, a tale of a married tech CEO who’s never had an orgasm with her husband, engaging in an illicit sub/Dom affair with her magically empathetic intern. It’s a film that raises questions about identity, control, fantasy, desire, love and power which are very much of the moment. But what is it really about?

He's coming! And by "he" we mean Robert Eggers' reimagining of the sublime Dracula copyright dodge, "Nosferatu". Eggers' telling centres on Ellen, the character who in previous versions has been the object of the Vampyr, Orlok's, appetite. But Eggers' version poses the question that she might be the subject who summoned him to satisfy her own. But can this smoothed version of Eggers' auteurship in pursuit of a popcorn hit adequately grapple with such a troubling idea?

On this episode of Projector Pod, Ebba and Macon talk about Sean Baker's new film "Anora", the story of Ani, a sex worker from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, who winds up a pragmatic/maybe romantic marriage with the fail-son of a Russian oligarch. In the boy's family's attempts to clean this up, Ani has to make sure she gets what she is owed from people who'd rather pretend she doesn't exist.

It's The Substance that everyone is talking about. The miracle tonic that will make you a new you, so long as you follow the rules. Ebba and Macon chart tense territory as they discuss the future cult body horror hit from Coralie Fargeat.

With a slue of films about men called Arthur in the cinema right now, Ebba and Macon have decided to talk about 2 of them in this episode. Todd Phillips attempts not to leave money on the table with his depressing musical "Joker: Folie et Deux" starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. And Alice Rohrwacher directs an enchanting meditation on the flatness of time, life, love and death with "La Chimera". 

Legendary director, Francis Ford Coppola, has made a return to our screen with his self-financed, attempt at an audacious masterpiece "Megalopolis". Ebba and Macon dive into this confounding film and search for its redeeming features. And there are treasures to be found among the worrying politics, uncanny design and discombobulating dialogue.
