Episode description
George A. Romero is of course known for his zombie films, but among his non-zombie films, those made in the ten year period between Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead are particularly interesting. Juliet and Theresa take on Romero's Season of the Witch and talk about witchcraft as a metaphor for feminist thinking, why you really shouldn't do magic at home, and mad libs.
