Episode 67: MaXXXine (2024)

In this episode, we conclude our in-depth exploration of Ti West’s slasher trilogy with the 2024 film MaXXXine. We continue from our discussions on X and Pearl, concentrating on the connection between the porn industry and the horror genre. This installment takes us into the 80s atmosphere as we follow our protagonist, Maxine Minx, on her path to becoming Hollywood's next major horror icon. Meanwhile, she confronts her past involving a serial killer and an Evangelical Father. 

Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…
