Willem Dafoe: 2 lines people ×1 verdict ×1

  1. people (casting reference): Willem Dafoe → The Lighthouse. Dafoe's Godwin is described as a craggy, monstrous creature, a lighthouse meets Shadow of the Vampire.
    “like a lighthouse meets shadow of the vampire.”
    The Big Picture · Best Picture Power Rankings and a ‘Poor Things’ Deep Dive. Plus: Julianne Moore and Todd Haynes! · 0:23:34 · Sean Fennessey (0.55 sure it was them)

Dark Waters: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (theme): The Lighthouse → Dark Waters. Golden Mops (Ben's movies-that-made-him-cry/wet): traditional pick is The Lighthouse, 'drenched in farts'; Dark Waters a dark horse.
    “Dark water should also be a dark horse pick.”

Ford v Ferrari: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): The Lighthouse → Ford v Ferrari. A24's lone nomination went to the Lighthouse cinematography while Ford v Ferrari missed.
    “for Ford versus Ferrari to not be recognized in that category and for A24 is one nomination to be in one of the strangest movies of the year”

Godzilla: King of the Monsters: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (trailer vs movie): The Lighthouse → Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Sean says watch the Godzilla trailer three times rather than the movie, and Lighthouse over any of it.
    “This is a very good trailer for a very bad movie.”
    The Big Picture · Our Alternative Academy Awards | The Oscars Show · 0:52:11 · Wesley Morris (0.40 sure it was them)

Heat: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (joke): The Lighthouse → Heat. Sean will start a minute-by-minute podcast on The Lighthouse like the one that examines every minute of Heat.
    “I will be starting one of those for the lighthouse.”
    The Big Picture · Our Alternative Academy Awards | The Oscars Show · 0:52:43 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Jarin Blaschke: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Jarin Blaschke → The Lighthouse. A24's lone nomination went to the Lighthouse cinematography, which a host puts down to voters liking showy black and white.
    “Because cinema, you know, people like showy black and white. It's real, like more is more.”
    The Big Picture · The Snubs and Surprises of the 92nd Academy Award Nominations | The Oscars Show · 0:24:54 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)

Midsommar: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (same complaint): Midsommar → The Lighthouse. Amanda's problems with the Lighthouse are different from her problems with Midsommar but both register as filmmaking that anticipates the discourse.
    “my problems with the lighthouse are different from my problems with Midsomar.”
    The Big Picture · Our Alternative Academy Awards | The Oscars Show · 0:53:07 · Amanda Dobbins (0.60 sure it was them)

Robert Eggers: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Robert Eggers → The Lighthouse. Eggers moved from The Witch to The Lighthouse, fantasmagoric rather than strictly horror.
    “Robert Eggers, who made the witch, just put out the lighthouse, which is kind of fantasmagoric”
    The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:07:09 · unknown (Alexander or Karaszewski) (0.50 sure it was them)

The Witch: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (same director): The Lighthouse → The Witch. Eggers made The Witch, which Amanda loved until its not-great ending, and The Lighthouse, which she finds fussy.
    “I love the witch until and speaking of endings until the end.”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about The Lighthouse: Sean is so devoted he'll launch a minute-by-minute Lighthouse podcast alone in a lighthouse; Amanda calls him an A24-merch-bro Reddit nerd and says Eggers shows his work too much.
    “what you are is a Reddit nerd, bro, and you hate this. I believe what I said was A24 merch, bro.”
