It’s episode 294…and you've made it to the belly of the beast, congratulations, very few come this far.
MaXXXine (2024) concludes Ti West’s X trilogy, following Maxine Minx in her journey to Hollywood stardom. But as she’s pursued by a mysterious leather-clad stalker, it’s not long before Maxine’s friends and colleagues start turning up dead. Is Maxine’s bloody past catching up to her, or is something even more sinister at play?
We break down an uneven conclusion to a nonetheless excellent horror movie trilogy, the gigawatt star power of Mia Goth, the corrupting influence of various forms of media across fifty years of American history, the dos and don’ts of car surveillance and the potential legality of head-crushing.
All of which leads to one question: How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me? I crushed her fucking head.
Next time we journey back to a golden moment in British TV history with Ghostwatch (1992).
