Dan and Brian pick up their spooky season discussion with part one of a look at the Ti West trilogy of horror films starring Mia Goth. First, they look at the '70s-inspired X, then the Technicolor nightmare of Pearl. Join as they discuss their A24 feelings, the long shadow of Texas Chain Saw Massacre, nudity clauses, old people body horror, Mia Goth's unique performances (she's a star!), and the recurring visual and script motifs across the trilogy.

Coming soon: part 2, a discussion of MaXXXine and review of the trilogy as a whole and where it could go next.

Dan and Brian continue spooky season by correcting a mistake from last year when Dan mistook The Craft for The Faculty. They also continue a now-annual tradition of Dan picking a quippy post-Scream film, here with a Kevin Williamson script. Join as they discuss the film's genre stew, the Robert Rodriguez lineage, Halloween's convoluted timeline, and what, if any, themes emerge from the film.
