453 - The Wicker Man (2006)

Some Sacrifices Must Be Made. Amanda Waltz from The Pittsburgh City Paper is BACK as ReMAYke month continues with THE WICKER MAN (2006). A troubled former police officer travels to a remote island after receiving a letter about a missing girl tied to his past. As he investigates, he uncovers a tightly controlled community whose strange customs grow increasingly unsettling. Also this week: Plenty of Cage impressions, Ben texts like a dad, and 3rd Rock From the Sun was a good show. All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!!
