Episode description

Slurp up that cummy bath water because we are talking about writer/director Emerald Fennell's divisive satirical thriller Saltburn (2023).

From its sublime cast to its gorgeous visual aesthetic, there's a lot to love here. But does Fennell push her class critique hard enough and are these characters too despicable?

Plus: "pug faced" (hung) king Barry Keoghan; Trace's hatred of Farleigh; wanting more Rosamund Pike; and debating why the film is so polarizing.
