About this episode
The episode reviews and discusses the film 'The Drama', exploring its themes and character complexities.
This week we review and discuss The Drama, a dark romantic comedy directed by Kristoffer Borgli and starring Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Alana Haim, about a couple whose relationship is tested days before their wedding when the bride reveals a dark secret in her past that causes her husband to question everything. We discuss how we expected very little from the movie based on its promotional material but were pleasantly surprised by how well the movie handled the complexities of its characters and its story, whether the movie justifies its conflict adequately and whether it's a comedy in the first place, and how it's not about judging Emma's past but watching the various characters struggle and fail at basic moral reasoning, how this destroys their relationships and causes them to question all their life choices, how the movie treats the idea of arbitrary mob justice, and much more.
