This week we discuss Robert Egger's The Lighthouse. A re-envisioned version of Edgar Allen Poe's unfinished short story of the same name, The Lighthouse casts us into 1890s New England. We follow Ephraim Winslow/Thomas Howard (Robert Pattinson) and Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe), who have just arrived for a 4-week Vickie assignment. Full of symbolism, mythology, and psychoanalytic themes, this film will surely have you second-guessing what is real. But is The Lighthouse Good?

Join us this week as we discuss Everything Everywhere All at Once. This film is a sensory masterpiece, embracing genre anarchy to bring a truly unique experience that NEEDS to be experienced. Seriously. This movie is the litmus test, and if you show this to a friend and they say "I thought it was stupid," you have our support to shoot them out of a cannon into the sun.* From sausage finger musicals to butt plug kung fu, this movie will almost assuredly be drastically different than what you were expecting when you sat down to watch it. It is clear that this movie has the power to melt your grandfather's face like the Ark of the Covenant... But Is Everything Everywhere All at Once Good?

*BIIG assumes no liability if you shoot your ex-friend out of a cannon into the sun. This was a JOKE and you SHOULD NOT do this, even if they deserve it.
