S3E27.5: Dogtooth
Added 2024-09-13 13:18:29 +0000 UTCJoin us, dear listener, as we embark on what will surely not be the only Yorgos Lanthimos movie November makes us watch. A totally normal greek factory worker hides a secret: His three adult children are being raised in a one-house The Village situation.

Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. They deserve to survive.https://www.gofundme.com/f/a8jzz-help-me-and-my-family-get-out-of-the-gaza-strip

This was queued up in my podcasts right after If Books Could Kill's review/critique of "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother", and wow, the concepts are similar.

2024-09-22 14:35:00 +0000 UTCOk, the "dancing" scene; they start with the dances from the dancing scene in Bande à part(albeit badly). How did November miss this!?

2024-09-18 20:18:41 +0000 UTCThis is very much a movie that I wouldn’t be able to watch due to the warnings mentioned therein, and that means I EXTRA appreciate this episode, because the conversation in the episode has been so meaningful for me. Thank you~

2024-09-17 17:42:57 +0000 UTCDoes anyone have any reading about the sex scenes being unsimulated? Like the Angeliki Papoulia interview November mentioned?
Puff Brake
2024-09-17 03:13:08 +0000 UTCJust started listening, but do they mention the X-Files episode "Home"?
Clef (they-them)
2024-09-16 21:39:38 +0000 UTCIn linguistics, zombie languages are those elicited by professionals from any last native speakers; their recorded voices transcend the speakers' deaths and remain as artefacts. Feels significant to that scene, obliquely.

2024-09-16 18:25:12 +0000 UTCLanthimos's Bond is brilliant concept that must be made real.

2024-09-15 22:33:06 +0000 UTCI've had a rough week so I've been looking forward to sitting back and listening to you guys discuss this wholesome family film.

2024-09-15 19:04:08 +0000 UTCI feel like November would probably enjoy the works of tatsuki fujimoto

2024-09-15 17:31:04 +0000 UTCCurrently listening to this a second time immediately after finishing my first listen cos I'm at work and I can't watch the movie itself til I get home
RowanCrimes
2024-09-14 20:24:35 +0000 UTCFor a lighthearted, twee, feel-good PG-13 version of this movie, check out Brigsby Bear starring Kyle Mooney. Also the Netflix original "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is about a girl who was kept in a bunker for 13 years and decided to joyfully live in NYC when she is rescued Also: holy cow this movie is absolutely about my childhood, just turned up a few notches. I was born and raised in a cult (the "2x2s", find out more on FBI dot gov or the Nightline segment on Hulu) whose signature control or whatever was that you weren't allowed to own a TV or go to the movies. We had a VHS monitor we could hide in the closet (because my dad likes movies once a month or so). We were taught that anyone outside the cult was going to hell. As an adolescent, I would watch Rocky montages to feel powerful.

2024-09-14 13:06:44 +0000 UTCJust read that David Lynch's review of this movie was that it was the best comedy he's seen in year 🙃

2024-09-14 10:45:21 +0000 UTCRocky also won world war 2 with Michael Cain by winning a football match against the Nazis.

2024-09-14 08:19:03 +0000 UTCInnocence, the french one from 2004, is another movie in this weird genre. I still get anxious thinking about the final shot.
Jacob King
2024-09-14 00:31:18 +0000 UTCthanks for saying this, i don't think i would be able to try watching this movie otherwise

Andrew Dunn
2024-09-13 22:04:43 +0000 UTCI love the idea of a detective movie about a situation like this viewed from the outside and postmortem

HAUNTER
2024-09-13 19:29:04 +0000 UTCGonna try not to overshare in the comments, but I usually make a habit of watching the movies you cover (if I can find them) before listening to the episode, and this movie was a genuinely hard watch the first time. However, after listening to the episode, I felt like the intense horror and sorrow I had experienced through the three kids (especially Bruce!) got lifted off me like a heavy weight. As someone who is trans and is in a strange position in real life right now, I felt the hope and the drive to start working towards making life better for me so I can thrive in the future. I genuinely cannot thank y'all enough for helping me process what I watched more easily. 🫡 (this is my first Lanthimos and I'm excited to see more of his work on my own!)

2024-09-13 16:55:25 +0000 UTCsometimes your trans and then you get brain damage and have to ask "would a vampire from blindsight relate to this film" and you answer "no" and move on rip

2024-09-13 16:49:06 +0000 UTCok finished the episode and i def got some feelings about it.
Lain of the Wired
2024-09-13 16:48:01 +0000 UTCIf anything, I'd love to see them cover Rocky and then Rocky 4, so they can see the same Signature Sly Stallone progression that Rambo had. The first Rocky movie is a quiet beautiful love story about a guy who happens to box and a neurodivergent-coded/sheltered woman. Rocky 4 is, by runtime, a plurality of montages about America and muscles.
Andrew Dunn
2024-09-13 16:36:40 +0000 UTCHow did that "Alps is dogtooth 2/dogteeth" bit go past without anyone doing "Dog2th"
Nah
2024-09-13 15:57:24 +0000 UTCThe Rocky films and their Creed derivatives will certainly make for a good series of podcasts, there’s a lot of stuff and a lot of nothing in them.

2024-09-13 15:31:04 +0000 UTCyeah ngl this seems like one of those movies that i gotta give a pass on cats are too sweet ;;
Lain of the Wired
2024-09-13 15:27:23 +0000 UTCIt is nonetheless very disturbing
Jermy
2024-09-13 15:26:06 +0000 UTCThe cat scene is faked, something Lanthimos had to prove to the British censor (you can check the BBFC about it) before the film could be released in Britain with that scene
Jermy
2024-09-13 15:25:47 +0000 UTCnow to be fair my cat does also think shes the most dangerous predator in the world too
Lain of the Wired
2024-09-13 14:59:53 +0000 UTCA movie about the origins of skateboarding? I'm so looking forward to this, I don't even need to read the episode description
Andrew Dunn
2024-09-13 14:35:03 +0000 UTCNot a Lanthimos movie, but also about being transgender and unfortunately also incest is the 2009 Panos Koutras movie ‚Strella‘. Watched it for a seminar I took, when I studied film studies. The seminar was about film and the concept of family, so I guess there’s another connection to dog tooth. Anyways, that’s my recommendation, if someone wants to watch more movies like that. It’s not as weird though.
