Episode 26: "MATERIALISTS" feat. Misgana & Bankole
Update: 2025-07-05
Description
"...breaking down today's films with tomorrow's eyes," Ofili has clearly been working on a tagline. Joined by Steve, frequent guest Misgana and new guest Banky from Popcorn for Dinner, they dissect the sophomore feature from Celine Song, MATERIALISTS. They explore the mischaracterization of the film's genre (12:30 ), comparisons to Song's debut film PAST LIVES (18:45 ), the lead character's turning point (49:35 ), and the powerful performance from Zoë Winters (59:00 ). They close out by discussing potential implications of MATERIALISTS on the future of cinema (1:08:15 ) and the bizarre audience reaction to the film (1:12:55 ). TCA Verdict: 8.4/10
