The Lighthouse

After their usual pre-show cocktails of lamp-oil and honey, Mike and Dan sit in open-mouthed amazement at Robert Eggers's The Lighthouse (2019). Dan compares the film to works by a slew of writers; Mike argues that the strength of this and The Witch earn the director the right to be known by his last name; the two discuss what Mike calls the "associative logic" of the film and the psychological condition of "batshit craziness." Monkey pump!  Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
