Another spooky, vibes-heavy film to see us out of October! Eleanor Affleck and I watched The Witch, or the V V Itch, and loved it. Topics include the representation of witch hunting, colonial panic, wood chopping as a coping mechanism, the taste of butter, and 33% inaccurate windows. This is an extremely detailed film that's extremely in love with its source material, but we also discussed the absence of Wampanoag communities and the problem of drawing heavily on white settler colonial anxiety as a historical source.
This film contains violence, including against children, and we mention it in the episode.
