On the podcast this week, we\\u2019re trying to figure out just what the hell happened in the unique Robert Eggers film, The Lighthouse.

We wax rhapsodic about the rocky relationship between Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson\\u2019s characters. It\\u2019s clear from the first moments of the film that the acting shown on screen is of the highest quality. Seriously, they should show this film in acting classes. But then we puzzle over whether anyone actually dies in the film. Or maybe they don\\u2019t and it\\u2019s all historical allegory? And who is really worthy of the lighthouse light? WHAT DOES THIS MOVIE MEAN?

It\\u2019s clear there\\u2019s a lot going on in this wonderful movie. We\\u2019re especially taken by the Oscar-nominated cinematography and the sound design that always seems to be threatening to overtake you as you watch. The look and feel of this film is sure to take you back in cinematic time.

Also, Sean makes an astounding admission of teen vampire movie-related guilt. We end up going down a long rabbit hole about the Twilight movies and books. Don\\u2019t say we didn\\u2019t warn you here.
