In this episode of the Cinegeeks podcast, we talk about 2 much-awaited Oscar contenders - Yorgos Lanthimos’ fever dream Poor Things, starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe; and Alexander Payne’s poignant The Holdovers, starring Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa and Da'Vine Joy Randolph. We talk about the stellar performances, the writing, what conversations in society these films can start, and if they’re worth spending your hard-earned money on.
