Her Private Hell
<p>This week's conversation about Nicolas Winding Refn's first feature film since The Neon Demon was really an exercise for us in how to discuss a movie that neither of us enjoyed in a way that goes deeper than just listing all the things we didn't like about it. Her Private Hell was made to be divisive, and we found that to be an interesting intention to try to dissect in itself. The whole episode is a real dance of Emily being very mean about it and Monika trying to force us to be smart!</p><p>Join the conversation with us below:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mediumliterate/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/mediumliterate/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumliterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumliterate</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MediumLiterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@MediumLiterate</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/mediumliterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/c/mediumliterate</a></p><p><br></p><p>Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):</p><p><a href="https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fchristian-larssen%2Fhappy-street/vZub/g4nDAQ/AQ/ced5efd8-591b-4462-9b07-103d26ec307d/4/QNuFxIlpxF" rel="nofollow">https://uppbeat.io/t/christian-larssen/happy-street</a></p><p>License code: B9EXR1D9EIBQLKXT</p>

The Odyssey
<p>The time has come to have a lighthearted romp through the mediterranean with Odysseus. That's right, this week we're covering Christopher Nolan's take on The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway.</p><p>Join us as we go through the movie beat by beat and talk about the breathtaking spectacle of this movie, performances that are going to stick with us for a long time, and of course give our super smart (college dropout) analysis of how this measures up to the cultural understanding of this foundational text.</p><p>**THIS IS A FULL SPOILER DISCUSSION OF THE FILM**</p><p>Join the conversation with us below:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mediumliterate/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/mediumliterate/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumliterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumliterate</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MediumLiterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@MediumLiterate</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/mediumliterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/c/mediumliterate</a></p><p><br></p><p>Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):</p><p><a href="https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fchristian-larssen%2Fhappy-street/vZub/g4nDAQ/AQ/ced5efd8-591b-4462-9b07-103d26ec307d/4/QNuFxIlpxF" rel="nofollow">https://uppbeat.io/t/christian-larssen/happy-street</a></p><p>License code: B9EXR1D9EIBQLKXT</p>

The Invite
<p>This week we get into The Invite, an impressive four-hander about the nature of relationships both starring and directed by Olivia Wilde. We both loved this movie, and found it ripe for discussion in about a million different directions. There's also a little bit of Evil Dead Burn & Rose of Nevada conversation up top.</p><p><br></p><p>Join the conversation with us below:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mediumliterate/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/mediumliterate/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumliterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@mediumliterate</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MediumLiterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@MediumLiterate</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/mediumliterate" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/c/mediumliterate</a></p><p><br></p><p>Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):</p><p><a href="https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fchristian-larssen%2Fhappy-street/vZub/g4nDAQ/AQ/ced5efd8-591b-4462-9b07-103d26ec307d/4/QNuFxIlpxF" rel="nofollow">https://uppbeat.io/t/christian-larssen/happy-street</a></p><p>License code: B9EXR1D9EIBQLKXT</p>
