It's episode 252...and this wasn't what I had in mind when I agreed to help out on your film.
X (2022) tells the story of aspiring pornstar Maxine, who takes a roadtrip to a remote farmhouse to shoot an adult film with her motley film crew buddies. Will the farm's elderly residents, including the mysterious and apparently infirm Pearl, prove happy about providing the backdrop for a smutty film? Who could say.
It's smiles all round as we discuss revisionist slashers and elderly flashers, alligators, octogenarian daters, electronic masturbators and fundamentalist Christian agitators, and ask ourselves whether this is the most likeable cast of survivors in the subgenre's history?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Pointing it and waving it around is usually enough to scare them straight.
We're back in two weeks with sci-fi sequel Prey (2022), or if you don't want to wait that long, sign up to our 'That's Fine' tier on Patreon to get it a week early!
