In this episode, Leslie and Sam dive into the gritty and intense world of "X" (2022), a film that boldly pays homage to the slasher classics of the 1970s. Directed by Ti West, known for his unique vision and ability to blend horror with atmospheric storytelling, "X" brings a fresh twist to the genre while capturing the essence of a retro horror aesthetic.
Set in rural Texas, "X" follows a group of aspiring filmmakers, led by characters played by Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Kid Cudi, Martin Henderson, Owen Campbell, and Stephen Ure. The group rents a secluded farmhouse with plans to shoot an adult film, hoping to find creative and financial freedom. However, their plans take a terrifying turn when their elderly hosts discover what they're up to, unleashing a night of relentless terror and bloodshed.
And to elevate your viewing experience, our Strain of the Week is Hash Queen, a sativa strain that will keep you sharp and fully engaged with the film's suspenseful moments and unexpected twists.
So, get ready to journey back to the gritty horror vibes of the 1970s with "X." Grab some Hash Queen, settle in, and join us as we explore the terrifying twists and bloody thrills of this modern slasher homage. It's a ride that horror fans won't want to miss!
