Episode Synopsis
" ...SUNTORY TIME!'"
Happy Boxing Day! We are back after a long hiatus to continue our Sofia Coppola Watch Series, discussing her most popular film: LOST IN TRANSLATION. We talked about our reaction coming back to this film, going over some of the relatable vibes, the relationship dynamic between Murray and Johansson, and some of our misgivings around the film's racial humour. Before that, we went over some shoutouts, news items, and what we watched this week.
Next episode, we will be joined again by Dr. Thomas Britt for a discussion on the 2023 horror LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL.
