Long winded analysis of Todd Haynes latest film “May December”

Loose episode this week, it’s basically just 2 hours of me talking through 59 movies I watched in October 2022! You can find the list on letterboxd @eliholmie if you wanna know what your getting yourself into, but it’s very chill and no spoilers except for a couple which EVERYONE has seen.

This week I talk through the incredible gothic/haunted house horror story, the innocents and why it’s a masterclass of possessed psychosexual children and liminal ghosts. It’s a creepy one, but I hope you enjoy! Thanks as always for listening!

This weeks episode is on Thief! We talk oppression in systems and how your only way to survive is to become nothing, with a dream of true humanity at the center of your fight to survive. So yeah, it’s a heavy one but it’s a fun one! In two weeks we’ll be talking The Innocents from 1961 so stay tuned! Thanks for listening everyone!

On this weeks episode I talk happiness and the cycle of pleasure in America suburbia, and how everything isn’t ok! It’s a tough one, but it’s a good discussion! Thanks for listening!

On this episode I talk about safe from 1995, and why Julianne Moore is the best actor ever, why capitalism and spiritualism shouldn’t mix but always do, and why we’re all just wearing masks. It’s a long one, so thanks so so much for listening! Next week we’re talking Happiness (1998) by Todd Solondz so stay tuned!

This week we’re talking After Hours and the crippling effects of capitalism leading to the Everyman to escape to odyssey’s of desire, but also how most of this is just a big screwball comedy. It’s a fun one, so stick around! Next week we’re talking Safe (1995) from Todd Haynes!

On this weeks episode I talk about the film miracle mile, a romantic apocalypse tragedy film dealing with blossoming love, and what humanity does in the face of apocalypse. Hope you enjoy this episode! Next weeks episode will be on Martin Scorsese’s “after hours” so stay tuned!

In this episode I go deep talking about the existential nature of our exploitation and how America creates escapism by exploitation, and how it relates back to the central romance at the center of this movie. It’s a heavy one, so stay conscious. Thanks for listening!

In this episode I talk crash and the underground taboo world and how it might be a little more universal than you thought! Thanks as always for listening, next week is on Brian de Palma’s infamous film, Blow Out!! Stay tuned! And follow me on letterboxd @eliholmie if you wanna see what I’ve been up to recently! I will absolutely follow you back!

We’re talking corporate espionage, transactional sexual relations, and why connection is hard to achieve when the whole world try’s to control you. Thanks for listening!

My experience with the movie, a dissection and more in broad a experience! Thanks for listening!
