Elle with Emily Yoshida
In the final installment of our \u2018Paul Verhoeven in Hollywood\u2019 mini series, Emily Yoshida (Night Call Podcast) returns for a special bonus episode on 2016\u2019s pitch black French dramedy, Elle. But what other actresses were considered for the lead role even though Isabelle Huppert is clearly the perfect casting choice? Is this a successful satire of French erotic thrillers according to Griffin\u2019s Mom? Can the video game being designed in the movie be at all entertaining? Together they discuss a connection to 90\u2019s sitcom Friends, the goofy male characters, French sighing and present their Verhoeven filmography rankings. \n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord.\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com. \n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
