#31: (b)eat the rich (off)

Gerry Hartman and Sammy Holte Episode 31

The boys get bougie with a double feature of growing class tensions, frivolous rich folks, faux-transgression, and tall aspect ratios. That's right, Gerry and Sammy are talking about Emerald Fennell's latest, Saltburn (2023), paired with Jean Renoir's classic The Rules of the Game (1939). They dive into the films' various stylistic approaches to their stories of class violence, Emerald Fennell's place in the contemporary film scene, and the WWII context of Jean Renoir's masterpiece. Contains spoilers for both films.
