Saying Something Sober

The one-stop shop for discussion on all things that interest me; a sober queer person from the UK. In each episode, I will 'Say Something Sober' about the chosen topic. Topics will include (but not limited to) old films, new films, music, non-fiction TV shows, Survivor, Drag Race, etc. However, I'll talk about it as a sober person, occasionally using my sobriety as a lens and/or relating it to my journey. Though there are oodles of sobriety guides, I feel there is a lack of easy-watching/easy-listening, pop-culture content that comes from a sober view and with sobriety in mind. <3

Poor Things - Saying Something Sober (#8)

Poor Things (2024) directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo & Willam Dafoe.

In this episode, I discuss this film and the themes that it explores. The film won multiple Oscars and many for the World that it created - a breathtaking marvel.

I talk about the character arc of the protagonist, Bella Baxter, and her coming to womanhood. However, I also discuss how I related to the film as a sober person and as a more feminine gay man.

Spoiler alert for this episode as I talk about the film in quite a lot of detail. I would recommend watching the film before listening.

Enjoy! Thanks for listening!
