Reclaiming Identity: Emma Stone's Radical Rebirth in Poor Things

In this visually surreal and intellectually provocative episode of Deep M Show, Jason and Anna dive headfirst into Yorgos Lanthimos’ cinematic fever dream Poor Things, starring a career-defining Emma Stone. From its Frankensteinian premise to its searing feminist message, this episode explores Bella Baxter’s journey of self-discovery, bodily autonomy, and intellectual liberation.

We unpack the film’s daring aesthetic, dark humor, and philosophical undertones—from the moral ambiguity of scientific experimentation to the radical subversion of Victorian gender norms. Is Bella a victim, a revolutionary, or both? How does the film use color, architecture, and sexuality to mirror transformation? And why does Poor Things feel like a postmodern fairytale with teeth?

Expect passionate debate, rich symbolism, and plenty of deep takes on everything from Mark Ruffalo’s sleazy charm to Virginia Woolf parallels, posthuman ethics, and the feminist power of saying “no.”

Tune in for an unforgettable conversation on a film that dares to imagine what it means to be truly free.
