213: A24 Retrospective - Tusk

We continue our series going through the entire catalog of A24's films. On this episode we are looking at 2014's Tusk directed by Kevin Smith. The film stars Justin Long as a podcaster who travels to Winnipeg, Manitoba and decides to interview a former sailor, Michael Parks, who had lured Wallace in hopes of performing a grotesque surgery on him. Joining the show is Nathan Sizemore, one third of the I Hope You Suffer podcast who was last heard on episode 128: Fright Flicks. 

Our double bill pairings include Freaks (Dakota) and Freaked with an honourable mention for The Oily Maniac (Nathan). Check out the ongoing Letterboxd list of all our pairings.

If you haven't heard our deep dive into the origins of A24, listen to episode 108: A History of A24 Films and our last episode in this series episode 211: A24 Retrospective - The Rover.
