Let's get freaky in technicolor! We're grappling with the feminist throwback film The Love Witch (2016) this week, sorting out great production from feminist film theory. We're talking Anna Biller's refutation of period pieces, M. David Mullen's perfect period cinematography and some cool philosophy tidbits. Find your chunky glassware, throw on a Dusty Springfield record and enjoy.

As always, SPOILERS. Additionally, no original songs were harmed in the making of this podcast.
