Episode 70: Titane (2021)

BLOODHAUS

Everybody loves Julia Ducournau’s Titane (2022)! From wiki: “Titane (French: [titan] (listen), lit. "Titanium") is a 2021 French body horror psychological drama film[5][6] written and directed by Julia Ducournau. The French-Belgian co-production stars Agathe Rousselle in her feature film debut as Alexia, a woman who, after being injured in a car accident as a child, has a titanium plate fitted into her head. Vincent Lindon, Garance Marillier and Laïs Salameh also star.”

Josh and Dru are plagued by bad vibes. They discuss Kenneth Anger (RIP) and the WGA strike. Josh is reading Bret Easton Ellis’s The Shards, Drusilla loved Greener Grass, which has to be imported. Same with Dinner in America. Also discussed: Urghh! A Music War!, Funny Pages, I Think You Should Leave, Patty Harrison, An American Werewolf in London, Hell Night, Tangerine, Crash, transmasculine politics, Cabin in the Woods, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
