455. Das Privileg Die Auserwählten (2022) — At the Movies

Deathly fungi, questionable parents, and confused demons, oh my! Shaun Duke and Brandon O’Brien join forces to discuss Netflix’s new German film, Das Privileg Die Auserwählten (The Privilege). Together, they explore the film’s exploration of themes of teen life, demon possession, and more, its treatment of teen sexuality, what it means to be infected with evil fungi that makes you susceptible to demonic possession, and so much more!

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!

A very special thanks to Cora Buhlert who helped us with pronunciations for this film. You are amazing, Cora!
