Episode description
This week on the podcast, we're looking back on two of the most polarizing films of the 2000s: Jonathan Glazer's mostly forgotten oddity "Birth" and Lars Von Trier's Criterion approved "Antichrist." Both genre-defying tales of grief with fully committed lead female performances from Nicole Kidman and Charlotte Gainsbourg, these controversial dramas divided critics and alienated audiences, but only one will be deemed a "misunderstood masterpiece" by your fearless hosts. Is it the one where Nicole Kidman sports a pixie cut and cucks Danny Huston with a 10 year-old boy or is the one where Willem Dafoe's penis cums blood? There's only one way to find out...
"Antichrist" is streaming on The Criterion Channel and "Birth" is streaming on STARZ.
