Episode description

This week Mike is joined by Dan Pfleegor (Losers’ Club) and Nichole Goble (Bodies of Horror) to talk To West’s X. This mashup of Boogie Nights And The Texas Chain Saw Massacre gifts the world with two head turning performances from Mia Goth, while offering a surprisingly tender look at sex work and sexuality as we age. That it does so while also delivering a nasty slasher experience filled with gore and carnage just makes it all the better. We explore everything above and also discuss how rewatching this movie after checking out its surprise follow up Pearl helps deepen our experience and understanding of this one.
