Holy Smoke (1999)

Many thanks to Em from the No Ship Network (purveyors of fine podcasts on Vikings, Spartacus, Penny Dreadful, and more) for commissioning this podcast, covering the 1999 psycho-sexual drama, "Holy Smoke". Directed by Jane Campion ("The Piano", Top of the Lake") and starring Kate Winslet and Harvey Kietel, it starts off as an intriguing and campy telling of a young girl being deprogrammed from a cult experience, and then... turns into something else entirely. Lots of at times uncomfortable discussion about power imbalances in relationships, masculinity and femininity, and what we're supposed to take away from the film, if anything. Thanks again, Em! It was an experience worth experiencing! If you're curious about the film, it is available on Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes for streaming. Learn more about your ad choices.

There's an ironic quality to the name of this episode, The Nadir, given that the previous two episodes were our least favorite of the season. This episode is a return to form with some excellent Rayla...

This week's episode feels a little disjointed, probably for good reason, and we decide to take the opportunity to get some things about this season of Fargo off our chests. It's not all gloom and doom...

Wait a sec, I thought this movie was called "Leon the Professional"? Well, apparently that's only true if you're in France. In America, it's just called "The Professional," while in the UK and Austral...
