Two Big Egos in a Small Car

Episode 165: Pop Artist, Pauline Boty; Poor Things; Overrated Netflix Films; York Art Gallery Exhibition Charges

January 27, 2024 • Graham Chalmers and Charles Hutchinson

Graham discusses two jarring moments in an otherwise brilliant new book about Pauline Boty, the most overlooked British Pop Artist of the 1960s.

Charles and Graham reflect on the new film by Greek director, Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things, which features an astonishing performance by Emma Stone and is a film dividing audiences over its feminist credentials.

Charles draws attention to the recent decision by York Art Gallery to re-introduce a charge to enter its permanent collections gallery. Yet another sign of the problems currently being faced by cultural institutions around the country, struggling to balance their budgets post-Covid in the face of rising costs.

Charles and Graham reflect on the new film by Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things.
