Happy New Year from YNFYF! We’re kicking off 2020 with a look back at another decade, 2003, when an unknown Patty Jenkins somehow managed to get Charlize Theron to play Aileen Wuornos, a prolific female serial killer who lived in Florida. With a virtually unrecognisable Charlize Theron in the main role, as well as a high level of craft and storytelling, this debut is moving, tough watch that cemented Patty as a force to be reckoned with. We had to wait a whole 14 years before another cinema experience from Patty, this time in the form of a superhero film called Wonder Woman. Worlds away from Monster, this was well worth the wait. In-between she directed popular TV shows, such as The Killing. We’re big fans of Patty and are looking forward to her next film Wonder Woman 1984 (which is out this year…). But thats not all! We have our very good friend of the pod and fellow cinephile Ella on this weeks episode. Not only does she expertly break down this dense, tricky movie into such lovely conversation we can all enjoy, but she’s vowed to see more films in the actual cinema this year. You know, that place you go to other than your sofa to watch movies? We’re holding you to your New Years resolution Ella. Expect to hear her back on the pod in the future, telling us about all those films she saw at that place called “the cinema”. On our SOTW we cover greg by Will Denis. A New York subway based short that follows a man who loses his phone on the train tracks. Loads of film fun to come this year. Enjoy.
