Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.

In this episode, Tony & Carl get into one steamy and one not so steamy topic.

To kick off, they discuss how Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things has caused a right hoo ha over some explicit sex, and question whether it's a reaction to how sexless American cinema has become.

Plus they get into the flipside, and a growing amount of platonic love in mainstream movies between men & women, from Dungeons & Dragons to Barbie. A sign of changing times?
