Published: Aug. 4, 2021, 2 p.m.

Sausages are snipped, peaches are picked, and cake is catapulted! Film writer Marya E. Gates comes on the pod to evangelize Věra Chytilová's DAISIES, a gem of the Czech New Wave and an amazing (and highly underrated) food film. In DAISIES, meals are key to sugar babying, class deconstruction, and women's pursuit of pleasure. Come for the subversive feminist romp, stay for the astounding food fight.
