Summary

For episode 69 the boys are back in the studio to review the latest from Ti West and his second film in a year, Pearl. Pearl is a prequel to West's already widely lauded, X. Mia Goth reprises her role as a young Pearl and takes a star turn; all while also executive producing, co-writing and anchoring this future cult classic (we're calling it now.) TI West's stellar use of color, music and imagery call back to a simpler time in Hollywood. But underneath the sweet score and iconic imagery, West and Goth lay out a story of isolated desperation, loneliness, the need to be loved, the uncertainty of it all. This movie asks the great existential questions that we wrestle with about once a week. What am I really doing? Do I matter? Are we meant for more than this present circumstance? At the end of the film, I'm not anymore sure myself about any of these lasting questions. But man, does it make an impression. Crack open a couple of cold ones with us, leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and let us know what you think we should review next.
