1979: A youthful group of pornographers shooting a "farmer's many daughters" adult film on an isolated farm are besieged by the passing of time in the form of a reclusive, exceptionally-horny septuagenarian who can't get hers unless they get theirs first! We discuss director Ti West's accidental start to a trilogy, the rousing bloodletting, the genial cast of characters, and of course: father time (with blood spatter) - and much, much more! We are joined on this excursion into murderous smut by listener/viewer Lee Taylor of Buzzy Film Productions. Link: / @buzzyfilmproductions
"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.

On this week's episode we continue our cask all around the slasher world of Maxine Minx and Pearl with the 70s era set, X. Journey with us as we discuss this film of dueling halves, the uses of music, the direction from Ti West, and moments that truly come out of nowhere. Is this the best film of the trilogy or the stagnant middle chapter? So pour some rye, load up some film in the camera, and beware of old people. Cheers!

On this week's episode we venture to the world of Ti West and Mia Goth as we dive into the prequel entry of their horror trilogy with Pearl. Journey with us as we discuss this wild origin story for a character that had already made her appearance and how this character study sheds lights on the films to come. Is this the best entry of this modern horror trilogy or is it hampered by limited locations and budget? So pour some rye, set the table, and don't forget to feed Theda. Cheers!
Psychological horror breakdown time. Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi dive into Ti West's Pearl (2022) — the candy-colored prequel to X that turns ambition, isolation, repression, and rage into a full-blown descent. We talk Mia Goth's star-making performance, why the film feels like a twisted classic-Hollywood fever dream, and how the story's backdrop of 1918 rural life, sickness, and war-era anxiety amplifies Pearl's need to be seen… and her capacity to snap.This is a spoiler-friendly discussion that balances analysis with fun commentary: the movie's look, tone, character psychology, and what Pearl is really saying about fame hunger, performing normal, and the horror of being trapped in the life you didn't choose.Where to watch (U.S.)Apple TV (rent/buy): https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/pearl/umc.cmc.75j73kjmgv3th4uw9nrotobyq“Where to stream” hub (rent/buy listings): https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/pearl-2022Inside this episodeWhy Pearl works as psychological horror and character studyThe “Technicolor nightmare” vibe: how style makes the violence hit harderPearl's need for stardom vs. the reality of confinement and caretakingThe movie's emotional pressure-cooker: control, shame, resentment, longingHow Pearl connects to X (and why the trilogy view is so rewarding)The performances and moments that make the film unforgettable

Hätten Ti West und die South-Park-Schöpfer nicht lieber dieses Remake von The Toxic Avenger als Teamarbeit machen können? Was die nämlich sowohl stilistisch als auch inhaltlich daraus vermutlich gemacht hätten, wäre wohl wirklich im Geiste des Troma-Kultfilms von 1984 gewesen. Stattdessen gibt's jetzt einen Film mit der Halbwertszeit eines Halloween-Kostüms für ein paar Hollywoodstars.
Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesDuring a recent round of interviews with various comic-centric YouTube channels last week, James Gunn seemingly revealed that despite rampant speculation, his DCU is not building toward the character of Darkseid as a “big bad”. As to why he's not pursuing what many fans might argue is the obvious direction for the studio, he cited the efforts of the comic book cinematic universes that paved the way for his own, saying, "Using Darkseid as the big bad now is not necessarily the thing... because Zack did it so cool in his way and because of Thanos and Marvel." Gunn expanded his thoughts on both, acknowledging some of the shortcomings of the DCEU and detailing how similar Thanos and Darkseid are that it wouldn't feel fresh for audiences. While Marvel has yet to confirm the much-discussed Scarlet Witch's return to the MCU, in a new interview with beauty, fashion and pop culture outlet InStyle, Elizabeth Olsen reiterated that she's ready to step back into the role. "It's ridiculous," she said of making MCU movies. "We're grown people behaving like children on a playground. We're flying. We're shooting things out of our hands. And it's a character that I've gotten to return to so many times over 10 years. It's good to put her down and then I miss her, and I want her back. I'd jump at the opportunity to be in her shoes again." Last week, Netflix revealed its plans to release the feature-length finale of Stranger Things' final season in theaters, reversing course after the streamer had previously rejected the Duffer Brothers' theatrical release pitch. Theaters will screen the finale starting Dec. 31 at 5 p.m. PT — coinciding with its global Netflix debut — and continuing through Jan. 1, 2026. Disney+ will begin streaming The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Nov. 5, following the film's $521 million worldwide box office haul over the summer.Over the weekend, Sony's Crunchyroll released Chainsaw Man – The Movie, which topped the domestic box office with $17.2 million and reached $108 million globally. Black Phone 2 continued its solid run, surpassing $80 million worldwide. Regretting You debuted in third place with a better-than-expected $22.9 million, while the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere disappointed with $16.1 million in its opening weekend.Paramount Pictures is finalizing a deal to acquire Ti West's adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, with Johnny Depp set to play Ebenezer Scrooge. The film will release on November 13, 2026.Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler are in talks to star in Joseph Kosinski‘s big-screen reboot of Miami Vice.Sony Pictures Animation will produce a sequel to its 2021 Oscar-nominated feature The Mitchells vs. the Machines. Production is expected to begin early next year.IMAX has unveiled its planned releases for 2026 at an Investor Presentation and at this moment, Spider-Man Brand New Day is not included in the lineup. The film will be released on July 31, which means it's debuting right in the middle of a pretty crowded IMAX season: the live-action Moana and The Odyssey are arriving on July 10 and July 17, respectively.Disney has officially exited its partnership with the BBC on Doctor Who after two years. For now, the BBC does plan to air an upcoming Christmas special next year and then continue the series on the network.Captain America star Chris Evans and his wife Alba Baptista have welcomed their first child, a girl named Alma Grace Baptista Evans

And like that, we're coming out of another "Spooky P**is Month" and back to the drudgery of season... Shorter days. Colder nights. Christmas. It's all downhill from here. SO CHERISH THESE MOMENTS! We're covering one of cinema's brightest stars and a film he wishes to have absolutely no association with WHATSOEVER! Yeah, we're covering Ti West. Of course, people will scream from the mountains, "Guys, there are other films to cover of his!" and you would be correct, but this is just kind of funny... AND GROSS! This is one of the most shameless, ickiest, nastiest looking sequels to an underwhelming horror franchise from Eli Roth and, y'know what? This rulez! Just be prepared for how gross it is, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Day 14 – Episode 164: The Innkeepers (2011)On Day 14 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I check into Ti West's The Innkeepers (2011) — a modern ghost story that proves atmosphere and slow-burn tension can be just as scary as jump scares. Set in the real-life Yankee Pedlar Inn, the film follows two quirky hotel employees during the inn's final weekend before closing, as they attempt to document its haunted history. What starts as harmless ghost-hunting turns into something genuinely chilling, thanks to West's mastery of mood, character, and creeping dread.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Whether "based on a true story," "inspired by," or "based on" true events, horror filmmakers have been looking for real-life inspiration as long as movies have been made. And while these labels don't guarantee a quality movie, they usually have a really scary story behind them.Tonight, join Mike, Kat, Andrew and Matt as they delve into the true stories behind The Exorcist, Ti West's The Sacrament, Fire in the Sky & The Mothman Prophecies.What's your favorite horror movie based on a true story?

Today Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia dive into a smattering of Hipster Horror as they try and draft an A24 Film Festival. We discuss what has made A24 the dominate taste makers in the horror space and the label of elevated horror. From an adult Texas Chainsaw Massacre riff in X, to the madness of the Lighthouse, Punk's battling Nazis in Green Room and familial devisation in Hereditary, A24 has so many bangers this draft was a true battle. Let us know whose list you think wins this heated battle. Which festival would win your money? Vote in the comments wherever you find the Podcast.

Synopsis In this prequel to X, we get the origin story of Pearl. Pearl is a young woman who lives on her parents' farm while her husband is away fighting in World War 1. Pearl is miserable on the farm and dreams of running away, and maybe even becoming a famous dancer. But the truth is, life is hard, and Peark quickly learns that it's a dog-eat-dog world and no one seems to care if she ever fulfills her dreams or not. The only thing that matters on the farm in 1918 is survival, and seeking happiness is far down the list of priorities, such as working for the next meal, avoiding the deadly Spanish flu, and taking care of those around you. This slowly drives Pearl into insanity, which I dont count as a spoiler because we already know she is full-blown bananas from the first film. Review of Pearl The full title of the movie is Pearl: and X-traordinary origin story. This is Ti West's second entry into the X series, so if you haven't already seen X, you might want to see that first for context. This is my favorite movie in the X trilogy. While I liked X, this one just feels more fun, and it is leagues better than whatever Maxxine was supposed to be. Pearl is a much more stylized film, calling back to horror films like the Universal monster movies from the early to mid-1900s with its intro, music, and acting style. It's really fun to see this type of movie made in modern times, and I hope that we can see more movies like this in the future. Score 7/10
We are so back….in space!! This week we're blasting off towards Jupiter for a one-of-a-kind outer space found footage experience.Sebastián Cordero's 2013 sci-fi surveillance thriller was NOT originally on our miniseries radar. But we could not resist the temptation of leaving this earth behind and spending some time amongst the (unforgiving) stars again. So here we are.Next week, we're doing another 2010s pseudo-documentary, the Ti West cult horror THE SACRAMENT.

This week on the Horrorcraft Podcast, we're turning down the camp and diving deep into one of the most disturbing intersections of horror and real-life tragedy: Ti West's The Sacrament.Join your hosts Cass & Kylee and special guest co-host @CreepyConfidential as we unpack this chilling found-footage film inspired by the real-life horrors of the Jonestown Massacre. Together, we explore how The Sacrament blurs the line between fiction and true crime — tackling themes of manipulation, faith, isolation, and the terrifying power of charisma gone wrong. Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of cults, religious extremism, psychological abuse, mass suicide, and graphic violence. Listener discretion is strongly advised.The Sacrament is currently available for streaming on Tubi and other major VOD platforms — we highly recommend watching before tuning in. While we are a horror podcast that finds fun in fear, the real events that inspired this film involved unimaginable suffering and the loss of over 900 lives. We approach this episode with the utmost respect for the victims and their families.If you or someone you love is struggling with religious trauma, abuse, or suicidal ideation, please seek support: RAINN – National Sexual Assault Hotlinehttps://www.rainn.org 988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineCall or text 988https://988lifeline.org The Horrorcraft Podcast is a proudly women-led, LGBTQIA+ safe space — where horror meets heart.Find Creepy Confidential at: https://linktr.ee/creepyconfidential https://www.instagram.com/creepyconfidentialA HUGE shoutout to Tiki for our intro magic as always.Stay spooky, stay safe Both Creepy Confidential and The Horrorcraft podcast are proud to be featured in the Talkin Tapes Summer Screams special, go check it out now:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzVRb1Np7KASources:1. “Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple” (2006 Documentary)Directed by Stanley Nelson and produced for PBS's American Experience, this documentary offers a powerful overview of the Peoples Temple and the tragedy in Guyana.

We close a loop from last year this week by covering the concluding chapter in Ti West's provocative horror trilogy that started with X and Pearl: MAXXXINE. We invite back friend of the show JR Forasteros to help us unpack our decisively uneven feelings about a trilogy which started strong, proceeded to get even better, and then possibly completely fumbled the ending.Also featuring a Patron-only segment where we play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon -- with ourselves! -- this is a laugh-filled and fun conversation that we really hope you enjoy.Patron Only Segment: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon9:07 - MAXXINESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
