Keeping things horror adjacent for your October viewing schedule, this week we are discussing 2022’s The Menu<\/em>. Originally announced as a collaboration for director Alexander Payne with Emma Stone, The Menu<\/em> centers on a psycho chef and his high end clientele, who all take part in a super exclusive dining experience from Hell. The film ultimately lost that twosome but inherited Succession<\/em>‘s Mark Mylod and the in-demand Anya Taylor-Joy, with Ralph Fiennes staying on as the chef. The film was a minor hit with audiences and received critical praise for its ensemble, but distributor Searchlight didn’t get it into Oscar’s good graces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about the film’s flimsy “eat the rich” satire and Taylor-Joy’s sudden ascent to stardom. We also talk about Hong Chau’s perfect line readings, other recent successful films satirizing class, and Mylod’s work on Succession<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include Fiennes in villain mode, fan culture as represented by Nicholas Hoult, and our current Halloween viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
