As we continue our look back at some of the best horror films of 2023, we encounter a truly unique and original epic as only acclaimed director Ari Aster could conceive it. BEAU IS AFRAID chronicles the bizarre and varied adventures of Beau (Joaquin Phoenix) as he struggles to find his way back home following the news that his mother has died. The film makes some bold choices in its exploration of guilt, fear, identity, despair, and so, so much more. We're joined by Continuity Guru Steven Beckley to help us try to get to the bottom of this wildly creative and highly personal intimate epic that is often as lovely as it is horrific as it is hysterical as it is confounding.
Also featuring a Patron-only segment about Mike Flanagan's THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, Episode 7, this is a hearty, thoughtful, and vulnerable conversation that we hope you all enjoy.
