"I have adventured... and found nothing but sugar and violence."
For our final week on Emma Stone and our first week on Oscars 2024, we are discussing her highly anticipated and praised role in Yorgos Lanthimos' sci-fi-comedy film Poor Things. In this film, Emma plays a woman who had her unborn child's brain implanted into her head; subsequently, she must learn to navigate the world with the mind of an infant and the body of a grown woman.
Set to the backdrop of both a futuristic and nostalgic, chaotic world, Poor Things defies genre boundaries and explores themes of disillusionment, discovery, and autonomy. We chat about how much we disagree over the genre of this film, and how we feel about Emma's performance going into the Oscar's 2024 race. We also discuss the chaotic discourse online about the infamous Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig snubs... we have opinions, girl.
This film also marks our first episode exploring all of the Best Actress nominees from the 96th Academy Awards. Stick around while we discuss our picks for Best Actress as we approach the big night on March 10th!
