Eavesdropping At The Movies

Referential and reverential of classic slashers from decades past, Ti West's X is likely just the sort of thing the dedicated horror fan wants to see - but to Mike, it's a pretty unsophisticated and tedious imitation of much better films, and to José, it's unpleasant, racist, sexist, and ageist. But on the plus side, no film has made him - a man who is decidedly not delighted by being frightened - jump and yell with the kind of regularity and energy that X inspired, which really livened things up for Mike. Unfortunately for you, José won't be watching it a second time, and if you can't drag him along, it's not worth it. Recorded on 28th March 2022.
