Heads are gunna ROLL… on this special crossover episode of Film is Lit! The fine folks at The Revisitors podcast collaborated with us to watch and analyze Tim Burton ’s spooky season classic, “Sleepy Hollow, which is loosely based on the Washington Irving short story of the same name. The Revisitors is a podcast where movie buffs Frank (Laura’s cousin) and Diego revisit the beloved films of childhood to determine whether these "classics" are truly worthy of our affection or if our minds have been clouded by nostalgia. How does “Sleepy Hollow” hold up 25 years after its release? Will we lose our minds over it (😏) like we did as kids, or has growing up tainted the fun? Listen to find out…that is, if you’re brave enough….🎃
