Podcast Ep. 6 – ‘Gretel & Hansel’ and ‘The Lighthouse’

We record ep. 6 of our podcast, discussing this week’s release, director Osgood Perkins’ “Gretel & Hansel,” and diving deep into director Robert Eggers’ atmospheric and illusory “The Lighthouse.” Mark Ziobro of The Movie Buff is once again joined by Kaari McBride, The Movie Buff critic and movie lover.

We recently covered advance billing for “Gretel & Hansel” on last week’s episode of our “Hot Take,” but here explore deeper into the fantasy/horror film discussing its atmosphere, its plot, and how it compares to the original fairy tale penned by the Brothers Grimm.

We also take a look at the mystery that is “The Lighthouse”—a cinematic marvel, also nominated for an Oscar for ‘Best Achievement in Cinematography’ for Director of Photography Jarin Blaschke. Kaari and Mark discuss the film’s effect, its filmmaking, and just what might be going on in its two characters’ heads during this mind-trip of a film.
