In this week’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo embraces the absurd to discuss the film “Problemista” with director and star Julio Torres (“Los Espookys,” “Saturday Night Live”) and co-star Tilda Swinton (“Doctor Strange,” “Michael Clayton”). In the A24 comedy, Alejandro (Torres) is an aspiring toymaker who loses his job and falls in with an art-world outcast (Swinton) to maintain his work visa. The film also stars Greta Lee, RZA, Isabella Rossellini, and more.

Swinton also talked about her love for experimentation and that the first big studio movie she was asked to be part of was "Constantine" with Keanu Reeves, which she said was very experimental for its time.
