Episode 158 - Beau Is Afraid Review

Matt's Movie Lodgecast

Beau Knows High Anxiety in the nightmarish dark comedy from filmmaker Ari Aster! Joaquin Phoenix plays the hell out of Beau in this epic three-hour fever dream. A24 seemingly gave Ari Aster complete creative control with a $35 million budget to put this crazed vision on the screen. We saw this movie back in April in IMAX and in this episode we'll break down for you every act of this five or six act film. Along with Joaquin, the movie features Patti LuPone, Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Kylie Rogers, Parker Posey, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Hayley Squires, Michael Gandolfini, Zoe Lister-Jones, Armen Nahapetian, and Richard Kind. While the movie received wildly different reviews from the Lodgers who attended this screening, it absolutely demands to be seen! Watch Beau Is Afraid and then listen to this Lodgecast!
