Silver Screeners

2022 brought us a lot of great flicks, but one that involves severed friendships (and fingers), the beautiful Irish seacoast, Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson reunited onscreen, and Jenny the donkey deserves an episode of its own. Former Reel Life co-host Mike Wigdor guests as we dive into our favorite scenes and characters from writer-director Martin McDonagh's dark comedy/drama that earned a whopping 9 Oscar nods but was goose-egged and went home without a single 'fecking' win. Plus, the usual fun facts, poll results, interactive trivia, and listener shout-outs!

Episode 83: 2022's Triangle of Sadness and 2019's Parasite

6 Recommendations

A blend of dark comedy and scathing social commentary, these two satires about class distinction became Oscar darlings and critical successes. Triangle of Sadness was a 3-time nominee, including Best Picture and Director, while Parasite made history as the first film ever to receive Best Picture, Director, and International Feature. Behind the sly cynicism and sardonic wit of both lies a message about the human condition. Plus, the usual fun facts, poll results, listener trivia segment, and shout-outs!
