Episode 68- Nights At The Quarancinema 1: Gay 24's Midsommar & The Lighthouse (ft. Darian Lusk)

For a supplement to the episode check this out: https://medium.com/@sam_louis/fc4124f15dac We’re becoming “film Twitter” guys from now through at least the next 3ish episodes. Here to ease us into the world of cinema criticism is the unparalleled Darian Lusk (@eatpraylusk). We take you back to the yesteryear of 2019 and the world of A24 films with two of its top horror flicks, Ari Aster’s Midsommar and Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse. We’re unpacking the gay and queer elements in these films, their auteurist “film Twitter guy” appeal, and making the case for these cinema geek movies as the Covid-19 economy squeezes theaters, allowing garbage like Dolittle (2020) to lead the box office yield for this already apocalyptic year. The first in a number of film-focused episodes, this one is a great way to get through an hour and a half of your quarantine. At the very least, you won’t want to miss Darian’s list of the top 5 gay and queer icons of Midsommar. Show Notes: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2020/
