Summary

My Turn returns to the well of beautifully shot, dreamlike psychological horror with Robert Egger's The Lighthouse. The film follows two lighthouse keepers, played by Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, as they descend into madness while tending a remote lighthouse. The film, and our hosts, ponder the role of masculinity, labor, and eldritch horror in The Lighthouse's nuanced depiction of the two worst men you can imagine. Following a brief question bucket, Cado picks our next movie, and Patrick, true to The Lighthouse's subject matter, absolutely loses his shit about it.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

God. Well, this week we watched the lighthouse film by I believe Roger Eggers produced by

Robert and Roger there. It was like Roger Eggers. Roger Ebert's spin off. Yeah, it's

probably Robert Eggers. I thought you were about to break my brain because I'm a huge fan of

like everything he has done. And I was like, Oh, shit. I just like thinking about this wrong for
