The Politics and Philosophy of The Menu (Chatter in the Skull Ep. 19)
Welcome comrades to my political and current events show. Where we talk about the big issues impacting the world, break them down, and talk about the opposing perspectives.
Today we examine a piece of media that has recently gotten its hooks deep into my brain. Today we will be examining Searchlight Studio’s recent film the menu. A suspense, horror comedy starring Ralph Fiennes as the aloof and mysterious Chef Julian Slowik. We take a deep dive into the movie as we examine its characters and the political messages contained within.
We also briefly talk about Nikki Haley’s sad presidential announcement and the cluster which the recent Chinese spy balloons have caused
