Simon Guerrier returns to the podcast for a further instalment in the special series covering films outside the regular remit, in this case the notorious 2006 remake of The Wicker Man, adapted and directed by Neil LaBute, starring Nicholas Cage and Ellen Burstyn.
Their discussion of this famous disaster covers bigoted directors, children as plot tokens, the concept of suspense, the critic as pathologist and angry cycling.
Below are a trailer, Radiohead’s Wicker Man-inspired video for Burn the Witch and Andrew Ellard’s Video Notes on Quantum of Solace, as mentioned by Simon.
