Episode 49: Apartment Zero (1988)

In Apartment Zero a neurotic cinema owner (Colin Firth) grows obsessed with his sketchy flat mate (Hart Bochner). My guest and I discuss the messy characters in this strange mix of erotic thriller and political allegory. This episode merits a trigger warning for a discussion of transphobia.

Episode 48: A Single Man (2009)

In A Single Man, Colin Firth plays a professor grieving the loss of his lover. Julianne Moore and Nicholas Hoult play admirers who offer him a way forward. My guests and I debate the controversial changes filmmaker Tom Ford made to Christopher Isherwood’s 1964 novel. This episode merits a trigger warning for discussions of self-harm.
