EP. 19: The Love Witch

If you're having trouble finding love, why not try witchcraft? What could possibly go wrong? In this week's film, our main character Elaine uses witchcraft to try and find true love, leaving a trail of broken marriages and dead bodies across a small California town. This is the second of our Pastiche films for April, a horror/tragedy/comedy that is a beautiful recreation of the Technicolor films of the late 60s. Drawing inspiration from Hitchcock's The Birds, Hammer's Dracula Prince of Darkness, and Romero's Season of the Witch, this film takes the style, and tropes of these films to tell a modern story of love, witchcraft, and murder.

Join host Wyndham Jennings for another talk about film you haven't heard of, because who knows, it might wind up being your new favorite.
