127. Michael Haneke's Funny Games (1997)
Episode 128
Sunday, 15 February, 2026
What if some dude who liked to make people feel bad directed a home invasion film that he felt showcased important elements of what's wrong with society, but confused which thing was more important to him along the way, but still managed to make a near masterpiece in the process? That's not rhetorical, I'm asking you. Please tell me. If you aren't familiar with Funny Games, you might want to read up on it a little before diving in. The artistry is in the execution, not in the surprises. And, God damn, if it isn't artistic. You might be surprised by our ratings on this most Austrian episode of Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast for people who want to get art but don't quite get art, so their sentences about how they feel about art just kind of trail off at the end. Description OVER!
