June 23, 2022 Andrew Gaynord's 'All My Friends Hate Me' | Review | Conversation with Co-Writer/Lead Actor Tom Stourton
Kelsi and Trey analyze the themes of one of the best films of 2022: All My Friends Hate Me. Then, Trey is joined by Tom Stourton for a conversation about his thrilling new film.

Conversation with Tom Stourton (01:06:13)

All My Friends Hate Me is a brilliant satirical dark-comedy and is the debut feature from director Andrew Gaynord and co-writers Tom Palmer and Tom Stourton (lead actor). The story begins with Pete (Stourton), a self-described leader of his friend group that steadily becomes more unhinged as he goes on a rural getaway trip to visit college friends for his 31st birthday.

The throughline of All My Friends Hate Me is paranoid delusions and how a lack of self-reflection can lead someone to self-destruct. The focused themes that bind the throughline are social gathering anxieties, protagonist complexes, class or privilege guilt, and most importantly, repressed emotions. All of these themes build on each other seamlessly and lead to a very relatable identity crisis for Pete.
