The Season of the Vvitch with Vvictor

We summon Victor to discuss The Vvitch (2015), Robert Eggers’ New England Folk Tale about a doomed family that gets decimated by the titular spook. We discuss the history of witches, the sex lives of D&D fans, and the difficulty of goading goats. Throw this in the cauldron.   The Witch (2015), directed by Robert Eggers, is a period folk-horror film set in 1630s New England. It follows a devout Puritan family that has been banished from their community and attempts to build a life on the edge of a dark forest. As they struggle with isolation, hardship, and deep religious fear, unsettling events begin to threaten their unity and faith.
