Ep. 66: Francis Lee’s God’s Own Country and Ammonite
We loved Francis Lee’s debut film God’s Own Country, so much so that we wrote about a book about it. In this episode we discussed God’s Own Country and Ammonite, two films that are somewhat the antithesis of each other, to uncover how they explore class, sex, intimacy, and labour.
Ep. 57: Misbehaviour and British revolution ensemble films
On this week’s podcast we contextualize Philippa Lowthorpe’s new film Misbehaviour as part of a trend of British social activism films starring amazing ensemble casts. We discuss complicating history to move beyond just feel good films, why these films are particularly popular in Britain, and many of our favourite actors.

Join us for a wild ride exploring the connections between Shirley, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Souvenir, Wild Nights With Emily, and many more.
