This episode reviews the film Hippo, a darkly comedic coming-of-age tale about a dysfunctional family living in suburban America. The reviewers highlight the film's unconventional style, drawing comparisons to the work of Yorgos Lanthimos and Wes Anderson, and they explore the film's themes of isolation, dysfunctional family relationships, and the absurdity of patriarchal beliefs. The film, which stars Kimball Farley and Lilla Kizlinger, is described as a blend of disturbing and humorous, with moments of both pathos and shocking absurdity.
