Warning: The following contains major spoilers for the X trilogy.
Ambitious women are rarely judged kindly by history. Often called cruel or heartless, they’re punished for going after what they want in a way that men simply aren’t. Especially if they choose an unconventional life, eschewing the domestic roles we’ve been told to prize. Women who choose stardom are especially vilified – either picked apart for their physical appearance or for daring to show their authentic selves to the world. And heaven help them if they show any skin. Seductive women may rise to the top, but they do so with labels like harlot, temptress, floozy, and whore.
Bette Davis, one of Hollywood’s most ambitious women, spoke on this phenomenon saying, “In this business, until you’re known as a monster you’re not a star.” This quote introduces Ti West’s MaXXXine, the concluding chapter in a trilogy exploring female ambition.

Note to self: be careful who you pray with.
On From Dusk Till Dawn Season 3 Episode 1 and From Dusk Till Dawn Season 3 Episode 2, Seth and Richie find themselves facing monsters from Xibalba (hell), and one of them might just be Kate.
First off, I like that we are exploring the ramifications of the Twister exploding.
The Twister was used for a lot of things. It wasn't just a feeding ground, and it's great that Carlos' actions had unexpected consequences. Mixing things up is always fun.
Los hermanos Geckos are pretty well versed in culebras by now. Richie has picked up a few tools of the trade. Freddie has even accepted his role as peacekeeper, and he's pretty good at it.
When everyone is comfortable and settled in, that's exactly when you need to throw a curve ball. Thankfully, that's just what happened.

Charlotte Biggs is a working actress from Texas who I met and got to know some at Comicpalooza. She had many stories to share and has this cool character called "Sister Mary" that completely owns me for some strange reason (looking for the lightning bolt). Biggs has several projects she’s working on right now including the indie TV series Morgue and Stein that also screened at Comicpalooza. Check out my latest Versus with actress and all around cool girl Charlotte Biggs.
Brian S- Ok, tell me how you got into acting.
Charlotte Biggs- I dabbled a bit with drama in high school. Never a major role or anything. Then I heard on the radio they were having a casting call for "A Woman of Independent Means" and were looking for children. I took my son and nephew, who were like 4 and 5, and low and behold I was asked...
