X (2022)

In a rare moment for the Aughts pod, Sam and Jordan are of two
different minds in this episode all about the new movie X.
"But X...?" you're wondering. "How is this Aughtsterion
material?" Well, the short answer is: Their pod their rules! But
the longer one is, Ti West was part of the great indie surge of
the late 2000s, making him a legacy character in the discourse
about the time. And besides, it gives your co-hosts a chance to
talk about the historical intersection of horror and porn — and
not the softcore variety that briefly flourished in the
millennium era. So, let's talk queerness in straight horror, the
role of the audience in shaping the meaning of a film, and that
one movie from West he really wishes you could just forget ever
existed. Shouts out to Mia Goth and Brittany Snow! You ladies are
fucking stars!
