What do you get when a philosopher, an art historian, and a Greek mythology expert watch Emerald Fennell’s new movie Saltburn? Three radically different but equally passionate experiences. In this episode, we work together to unpack the magic and mystery of this fantastic film. Topics include: the sexual subconscious, the reversal of the Greek hero, the Minotaur in the labyrinth, staggering visual symbolism, and a kaleidoscope of Shakespeare and Marlowe.
