The visual cuisine for tonight is Battlebots followed by the Killing of a Sacred Deer. Battlebots is a show about people making robots that fight in an arena, it is based off the season 2 My Life as a Teenage Robot episode "Robot Riot" - we will watch episodes 7-9 tonight.
After that will be The Killing of a Sacred Deer from the director of The Lobster and Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos. It is a movie about a surgeon's life falling apart after taking an orphaned boy under his wing.

Killing of a Sacred Deer should probably have a CW for the spaghetti scene. I don't know what but any time I see this film discussed everyone always brings up how unsettling it is lol
