313. Pearl with special guest Brad Liberti

"No, I'm a star! Please, I'm a star!" After years of resisting the spell Mia Goth has cast on all of us, we're covering Pearl! Shot back-to-back with X during the dark days of the pandemic, Ti West's mélange of horror and 50's melodrama captivated audiences. We talk about how the movie feels outside the studio system and how it lends itself to its odd Technicolor fever dream tone. Who we'd take out of the 2023 Best Actress Race to fit in with Mia Goth's incredible performance, and the delightfully camp moments Pearl gives us.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna Cover Art by Shaun Piela
