#251 – Last Night in Soho | Directed by Edgar Wright (with Gizmo)

Tune in as Gizmo (@basedgizmo) joins in for a plunge right into Last Night in Soho, the 2021 horror film about a fashion design student who’s just moved to present-day London and gets all wrapped up in what appear to be initially glamorous and increasingly terrifying visions revolving around a young woman in the Swinging Sixties. The heavy inspiration that this draws from giallo, how this portrays men and their misogyny, and wishing Jocasta could have been fleshed out beyond her bully stereotype stand out as a few of the topics for this episode.

Directed by Edgar Wright, Last Night in Soho stars Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, Michael Ajao, Synnøve Karlsen, Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham, Pauline McLynn, Aimée Cassettari, Jessie Mei Li, Kassius Nelson, and Rebecca Harrod.
