They Don't Want a Smart Person - Maxxxine Review

Real Horrorshow Podcast

We’re back this week to finish our review of Ti West’s ‘X’ Trilogy, with the final installment Maxxxine.

Picking up where X left off, Mia Goth returns as Maxine Minx, navigating the glitz, grit, and gore of 1980s Hollywood in her quest for fame. But with a mysterious killer on the loose, Maxine's dreams turn into a fight for survival.

We’ll discuss the film’s star-studded cast—featuring Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon—and break down how MaXXXine blends nostalgia, slasher thrills, and biting commentary on fame.

Tune in for spine-tingling horror insights, movie reviews, and some fun pop culture chatter!

About Us

Sam and Stormy died and they can't get into Heaven until they watch every single horror movie on Netflix. But, like, those movies are constantly changing, so it seems like someone is yanking their chain.
