Keeping things horror adjacent for your October viewing schedule, this week we are discussing 2022’s The Menu. Originally announced as a collaboration for director Alexander Payne with Emma Stone, The Menu centers on a psycho chef and his high end clientele, who all take part in a super exclusive dining experience from Hell. The film ultimately lost that twosome but inherited Succession‘s Mark Mylod and the in-demand Anya Taylor-Joy, with Ralph Fiennes staying on as the chef. The film was a minor hit with audiences and received critical praise for its ensemble, but distributor Searchlight didn’t get it into Oscar’s good graces.
This episode, we talk about the film’s flimsy “eat the rich” satire and Taylor-Joy’s sudden ascent to stardom. We also talk about Hong Chau’s perfect line readings, other recent successful films satirizing class, and Mylod’s work on Succession.
Topics also include Fiennes in villain mode, fan culture as represented by Nicholas Hoult, and our current Halloween viewing.
