Episode 110 - Pan’s Labyrinth

This week for Scares and Satire we move on to our monster themed film, Pan’s Labyrinth, a fantasy, horror war movie that makes you question a lot of things, like “What can mandrakes cure?” or “Is magic real?” or “Who is the real monster here, the fantastical creatures, or the fascists?” (The correct answer there is the fascists, the fascists are the real monsters.) We also make connections between the fantastical elements of the film and the characters and scenarios in the real world parts of the film, and we highlight some of our favorite heroes of this story. So listen in and share your hot takes with us on social media, to @swordsandsatire! (intro skit sounds obtained from Zapsplat.com)
