The Lighthouse (Movie History, Plot Breakdown, & Pairings)

October 22, 2026 · 2 h 21 min

Show notes

This week we are diving right into Robert Eggers' sophomore feature, "The Lighthouse." We discuss the path to making this film, and why the success of "The Witch" led directly to this unclassifiable movie being made. We then dive into the punishing shoot in the middle of nowhere with awful weather, and why that was the plan. The plot is then looked over and discussed while we attempt the accents to say our favorite lines. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills for your viewing pleasure.

Thank you so much for listening!
