On this episode of the podcast, X. The film follows a group of, ahem, filmmakers, through Texas as they location scout for an upcoming project, Farmer’s Daughter.
Mia Goth (of the Suspiria remake) stars as one of the starlets, whose crew encounters hicks in the sticks.
Artfully done, replete with atmosphere, X still kinda comes up a bit short. At least to these reviewers. Tune in, and check it out.
