Film to Table (Side Cast) Episode 4: Love Lies Bleeding

On this week’s Film to Table, Eli and Denise dive into the new A24 film Love Lies Bleeding. This 2024 film might be one of the more underrated films of 2024 hidden in the 2024 line up of films from A24 and Neon. With so many films trying to present their stories in the aesthetic of the eighties, Love Lives Bleeding takes us to the dark side of the grunge and grime of the eighties aesthetic. Eli and Denise have their hands full trying to pair this week's movie.
