What a great listen! Really enjoyed the conversation between you and Celeste. Aaron knows of my love of folk horror, and to that end, especially learning that that Celeste is a fan of The VVitch, I would highly recommend both Hagazussa (2017) and Jessica Hausner's Hotel (2004) (both Austrian/German offerings), but the one that I would really love to hear both of your opinions on (especially Celeste) is the 2004 Belgium film, Calvaire, by Fabrice du Welz. It's very much in line with some of the French extreme films of the time, but oddly, no where nearly as graphic (although the horror mashup aesthetic of Texas Chainsaw Massacre/Deliverance/Psycho is immensely disturbing). Hope you can check it out!
Man. This was so so good. Maybe it’s just my sensibilities but I love when smart people talk about cinema that is made to challenge. 😀 Two better people you couldn’t find. It’s a great list Aaron and while my list may be in a different order the conversation about what it says about us as individuals is amazing. Bravo on doing this with Celeste as well. Brilliant
22:32 I watched this with my S Korean ex and it was an eye opening experience of how we interpret a movie living in our culture vs someone else's. Even down to what clothing certain characters were dressed in.

The strangers not scary? Let 3 people break in your home and see how it is 😂. Good video.
