Welcome back to another episode of The Culture Garden Podcast! We like to let the films dictate the conversations and after watching a film like Origin, we decided to provide reactionary thoughts and discuss how this film made us film. It's a free flowing conversation, not our typical categories, but we had such a good time getting deeper than we normally do. We also discuss an all-time acting performance from Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. It's sincerely one of the best performances we've seen. We'd love to hear your feedback, please reach out on socials or e-mail, our information will be found below. Thank you as always for tuning in, we can't do this without you. Love!
