068: Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog, A24's The Humans, and an exvangelical discussion of Martin Scorsese's Silence

Arthouse Garage: A Movie Podcast

"Don't you think it should cost less to be alive?"

Today on the show we've got a review of the new Netflix film The Power of the Dog from writer/director Jane Campion and starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

After that a look at the fascinating new Thanksgiving film from A24, The Humans, directed by Stephen Karam and Richard Jenkins, Beanie Feldstein, Amy Schumer, Jayne Houdyshell, Steven Yeun, and June Squibb.

Continuing the new series, The Art of Deconstruction: Faith, Doubt & Film, filmmaker Chad Hill stops by the podcast to tell about his experiences and break down the 2016 film Silence from director Martin Scorsese and starring Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver and Liam Neeson.

I also give a quick reaction to some of the other films I've been watching, including a few that played AFI Fest 2021. Films (and TV) discussed include:

• Holy Emy (AFI Fest)
• Paris, 13th District (AFI Fest)
• Petite Maman (AFI Fest)
• Squid Game
• Shiva Baby
• All Too Well: The Short Film
• Spencer
• Belfast
