5. Cults on Film: The Master, Midsommar, Opus

Update: 2025-05-01

Description

This week, we're exploring one of cinema's most unsettling obsessions: cults.

Tune in to hear the girls discuss why The Master (2012) remains a masterclass in power dynamics, how Midsommar (2019) reinvented horror through pastels and flower crowns, and why the buzzy new A24 release Opus (2024) felt like an uninspired remix of the distributor's better films.

Pour yourself a tall glass of Kool-Aid and don’t forget to subscribe for more movie reviews, film analysis, and pop culture commentary!
