Will, Hesse and Radu discuss the film’s send-up of TikTok masculinity influencers, the relationship with earlier films edited into the movie, the various versions of Romania Jude depicts and much more..  


Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World is now in theaters and will be streaming on MUBI starting May 3.

I hate to be that guy, but the word “Gypsy,” which is used at one point in the interview, is dated and considered by many to be an ethnic slur, whereas the preferred/correct term is “Roma” or “Romani” (I can see how the latter would be confusing when talking about/to Romanians, which are different, so the former would work here). The slur was coined because white Europeans mistakenly believed the Roma to be Egyptian (this is also where the phrase “gypped” comes from, which is rooted in the harmful stereotype of Roma people being tricksters and thieves). Some Roma still use the other term simply because it’s more common and what they’re used to (like how some Native Americans are fine with going by “Indians”), but it’s generally better to get in the habit of using the proper, non-derogatory label. Sorry if this reads as “wokescolding” or whatever – I know there was no ill will and that no one here would intentionally or unironically push anything xenophobic or racist and I certainly don’t intend to scold. As I said, it is, unfortunately, the more common term, but it never hurts to try to change that where possible.

I really enjoy this episode! What Radu said about trying to look at normal life around you with a cinematic perspective resonated with me because I used to feel something similar when I was younger, and it still happens from time to time. A combination of depersonalization and hyper-awareness mix in a way that make it feel like life in that moment is a movie, you imagine what angle the audience would view your position or conversation from, posture and lighting having meaning, what emotions are you expressing with your face face? What is going on out of focus around you... it's a surreal experience that makes normal life more colorful.
