Yer fond of me podcast, aren’t ye?

Andrew Sweatman and filmmaker James Basham spill the beans about Robert Eggers’ latest film The Lighthouse. They talk about what the film has to say about isolation, toxic masculinity, power struggles and sexuality, and there’s some spoiler talk in the last half–What does the ending of The Lighthouse mean? They also discuss the influence of Ingmar Bergman on this film and compare it with Robert Eggers’ previous one, The VVitch.
