Episode notes

Recorded LIVE at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, this show has a little bit of everything – special guests, witchcraft, and a stuffed animal version of Black Phillip. Mattie Do, Laos’s first, and only, female film director, is our special guest. And she’s on the show to talk about 2015’s The Witch. She details her own personal connection to magic and witchcraft, and how this film influenced the look and feel of her own horror-folk film, The Long Walk. She and April are also joined by Tigers Are Not Afraid director Issa López to help decide which member of the audience gets to sell their soul to the devil.

You can see Mattie’s film The Long Walk on the film festival circuit.

You can see Issa’s film Tigers Are Not Afraid on Shudder.

And if you haven’t seen The Witch, you simply must!
