#005 - The Lighthouse

In their longest episode yet, the Doc and Baron discuss Robert Eggers' surreal horror film, The Lighthouse, starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson.  There is too much to talk about in this divisive, black and white, disturbing film, but they give it a red hot go, covering topics such as ancient mythology, wanky student films by filmmakers who want to look smarter than they are, mermaid wet dreams, the Doc's iso fitness regime, and of course... what all these things, and the film itself, reminds them of.
