Pearl is murderously horny and we are here for it. Ben and Caitlin dig into the horror trilogy known as the MaXXXine films by Ti West and starring Mia Goth, unpacking all of the sex, scarecrows and influences along the way. From X's progressive lens over 70s adult film culture to Pearl's war-time pandemic fuelled isolation and MaXXXine's foray into real-life crime, we're looking at how Pearl herself has become one of horror's greatest villains.
