What animal would you get turned into? Joe & Adam ponder The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2015 dry as a bone awkward sci-fi comedy starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz.
Is the film all logic brain and no beating heart? There is much discussion of Lanthimos’ tone, and a great divide over whether Poor Things is good or not.
Also: what is the narrative of Farrell’s career, what sound does a lobster make, and what animal is best to get turned into. As well, of course, there’s the usual business of the Box Office Game, and the Forgot You Forgot Picking the Next Film Game.
