Summary

We know yer fond of our lobster because we're talking about Robert Eggers' 2019 treatise on homoeroticism and toxic masculinity, 'The Lighthouse.' Joining us to discuss yet another wet'n'wild island movie is The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program's Cat Blackard. We discuss Eggers' trademark dedication to technical precision, shooting conditions in Nova Scotia, Androeroticism, defending Robert Pattison (and his accent), 'The Lighthouse' as rom com (with farts) and Cat’s own epic monologue around the 43:30 minute mark.

1:03.0	lobster as my pick. So fuck you, Joe. It just keeps happening. It is the most popular thing. And you know what?

1:19.3	you took it from me in hindsight, so it's fine. But everyone, we were discussing Robert Eggers,
1:24.9	the lighthouse. First time viewing for me, by the way.
1:29.1	Yeah, I'm really excited because, folks, we are recording this in advance of having seen
1:35.2	the Northman, so this is quite a early recording.
1:38.1	But I was very happy that you are going to get to see this before his new one, because I do
