This week, Charles Elmore and I welcome back guest Adam Palmer for a double bill of the God forsaken (with three guys who pray that they aren’t), plus much more, on this episode of The Bad and the Beautiful.

You can download it on iTunes or stream Episode 8 above.

First we discuss Hereditary, the new art house horror film that has been polarizing audiences, including our trio. There’s a stark two-against-one divide here on writer/director Ari Aster’s debut, and our humble trinity is far from united.

But then there’s redemption to be found in Paul Schrader’s First Reformed, perhaps not for his characters but definitely for his career as our critics agree that this is the Taxi Driver screenwriter’s career-best film.

All that plus Jeff, Charles, and Adam give brief thoughts on Incredibles 2, Ocean’s 8, and the critically-acclaimed Cannes Film Festival award-winning indie The Rider.

Music Selections:
– “Funeral”, Colin Stetson (Hereditary)
– “God Gives”, Nathan Halpern (The Rider)
