The House That Jack Built is — by a country mile — the most messed up movie we've ever seen. Oddly, it might also be the funniest. In this long-gestating episode, we're finally doing a deep dive investigation into one of the trickiest, densest, and most provocative movies ever made. It's a crime thriller. It's a black comedy. It's an unbearably grisly horror movie. But then again, you could also argue that it's the foremost (albeit nontraditional) adaptation of Dante's Divine Comedy. Topics include: the rudest needle drop of all time, an uncomfortably apt comparison to It's A Wonderful Life, the terror of temporary found footage, the potency of simplistic creature design in depicting pure evil, Lars Von Trier's use of the color red, and the boundless talent of Matt Dillon.
