This week on The Dive-In Moviecast, Hayden and Wesley are back after a brief podcasting break, and joined by returning guest Joe Depakakibo from The Kyber Culture.
Kicking off the episode, Wesley discusses his experience acting in his University’s performance of ‘The Crucible’ and catches up on life. (1:10)
Then, they discuss/bash the newly released ‘Morbius’ and why they felt it to be such a flop. (10:00)
They then dive into the main movie of the episode, discussing Ti West’s horror film ‘X’, what makes it a unique and smart slasher film via subtle subversion of cliches, the all-star cast and who stands out the most, the character of Pearl and why she’s so entertaining as a villain, the best kills in the movie, the already filmed prequel ‘Pearl’ and our expectations for it, and more. (25:40)
Finally, the three of them rank their top 5 A24 films. (68:05)
