AFTER 30:10 it's a full spoiler review

We're back again and this time we're giving the Emma Stone Best Picture nominee, Poor Things, the See It or Skip It treatment.  Does this film exploit Emma Stone throughout with all the nudity and sex? Why did this film remind us so much of The Favourite? How does it stack up against other Oscar Contenders this year?  Is there an argument that what Barbie tried to do by telling the audience, Poor Things did by showing?  Ian is joined by Liam, and then later by Nate The Great. We'll answer all these questions on Poor Things and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
