We’re here with your Oscar hangover cure to break the seal on the THOB Class of 2023 and we brought Louis Peitzman along for the chaos. It’s Saltburn<\/em> time! After the COVID-era Oscar success of Promising Young Woman<\/em>, all eyes were on Emerald Fennell to deliver again with her follow-up. Barry Keoghan stars in the film as a social climbing Oxford student who freeloads off his wealthy classmate (Jacob Elordi), ingratiating himself to the family as he stays on the eponymous estate. With allusions to Brideshead Revisited<\/em> and Tom Ripley, Saltburn<\/em> was safely the most talked about film of 2023 to earn no Oscar nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about the controversies surrounding the film’s sexual content and what makes Fennell such a divisive figure. We also discuss Keoghan’s nude finale moment, Rosamund Pike’s performance as the matriarch, and the film’s mixed reception on the festival circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include needle drops, eyebrow piercings, and movies with bathtub scenes.<\/p>\n
