We talk about the most famous picture so far this century…. Abu Ghraib

This is a special episode of “Popcorn Propaganda” – with very special guest – the Dirty Deacon himself Mr Blake Ian Collier

We talk in depth and at length about the masterpiece THE WITCH .

And we SPOIL the living daylights out of it.

You will hear us lament the state of Christian Movie Critique and the “curse counter” websites like Movieguide.org – check out their frankly sad review here.

We reference a brilliantly written piece about the movie from a Catholic’s perspective Kathleen Troost-Cramer – ““The Witch”: A (Theological) Movie Review”

Dialogue from the most crucial scene in the movie:

Thomasin: Black Phillip, I conjure thee to speak to me. Speak as thou dost speak to Jonas and Mercy. Dost thou understand my English tongue? Answer me.

Black Phillip: What dost thou want?

Thomasin: What canst thou give?

Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like the taste of butter and pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?

Thomasin: Yes.

Black Phillip: Wouldst thou like to see the world?

Thomasin: What will you from me?

Black Phillip: Dost thou see a book before thee?… Remove thy shift.

Thomasin: I cannot write my name.

Black Phillip: I will guide thy hand.

Hey there gang! This week our intrepid duo go to the movies together for the first time and see “THE VVITCH”
