This week on the Gimme Three Podcast, we’re gearing up for Kinds of Kindness with a thrilling Yorgos Lanthimos Spotlight episode!

While the brilliant Nicholas Ybarra is off making some movie magic this week, co-host Bella Efstratis is joined by her long-time friend and a true Yorgos aficionado, Michel Eljaiek.

For this week’s episode, Michel has handpicked three extraordinary Yorgos films for us to thoroughly dissect:

  • The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) featuring Barry Keoghan’s unforgettable portrayal of the most terrifying teenager in modern cinema.
  • Lanthimos’ odd and mysterious exploration of grief, identity, and humanity in his underrated gem, Alps (2011).
  • Concluding with Lanthimos’ original masterpiece and haunting family drama/comedy, Dogtooth.

Yorgos fans, this episode is for you! (Many spoilers ahead, so we recommend watching these films before listening!)
