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!
