In Episode 265 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review The Kitchen, Them That Follow, The Perfection, and we also revisit Midsommar. This week Kris recounts the time he couldn’t go to Lenin’s Tomb because it was “closed for inventory,” leaving me and returning guest Megan Kearns completely confused. Megan leads off the episode by describing two films she saw recently Them That Follow (4:11), a somber film about religion and snake charming, and The Perfection (10:00), a more engaging movie about classical musicians that takes some fascinating twists and turns before spiraling into body horror. Then I share my experience watching Ari Aster’s Midsommar (14:05), which may or may not be “an Evan movie.” Lastly, all three of us dissect The Kitchen (28:50), a disappointing kitchen-sink crime drama chock full of critical themes about gender, race, and class that it only superficially addresses, and thinly drawn characters whose motivations don’t make any sense.
