Show Notes

Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos has become a household name in a relatively short time. Five Oscar nominations in the last decade. Sounds like the perfect time to talk about his rise to prominence! In honor of the director’s newest release, Bugonia, Logan and Andy prepare for a truly wild ride as they talk about 2009’s Dogtooth, 2011’s Alps, and 2015’s The Lobster.

How does the director’s breakout film feel when compared to his contemporary output? Is there a noticeable progression through the trio? Also, is the true secret sauce to a Lanthimos film a sad Colin Farrell with a mustache? Find out on this delightfully weird new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
