Listen Later

As May Day approaches, the Sectarian Review Podcast explores the classic pagan horror film, The Wicker Man. C.

In this film, a stuffy, Christian, British cop gets called to a bizarre Pagan island off the coast to investigate the disappearance of a young girl and....blah blah blah....human sacrifice!

A wonderful discussion of a truly great, truly disturbing film.
