Morvern Callar: The Sundae Presents Episode 24

Ciara and Dean co-host The Sundae Presents, a podcast in which they each make the other watch films they haven’t seen. For our second Christmas Special, Dean showed Ciara that timeless seasonal classic, Lynne Ramsay’s 2002 suicide drama Morvern Callar. They talked about how funny it is, whether the main character is a psychopath and if it’s even a Christmas film.

Short films may as well not exist for a lot of people, even people who love movies, and that’s just a shame. The only short films most people I know have seen, if they’ve seen any, are Pixar or Disney shorts, old Looney Tunes one-reelers, or “short films” that are actually just long ads (not to police the boundaries of the medium or whatever). Some of those are good, sure, but if your entire diet of short film is just Disney and ads, like, Jesus, that’s just not good for the soul.
