The VVitch (2015) + Magic Rain IPA
from Nightmares on Tap · host Brian and Megan
Brian and Megan geek out over The Witch (2015), unpacking Puritan paranoia, Calvinism, and the quiet, creeping dread of a family unraveling in the wilderness. It’s a Job-esque tale of faith tested and fear turning inward—subtle, psychological, and deeply unsettling. Brian’s favorite character? Black Phillip, of course. (Also, Daniel Malik—who plays him—is ridiculously attractive, even though we barely get to see him.) We try Magic Rain Sessions IPA (5.8% ABV)—juicy, fruity, and “fine.” Brian gives it a 6, Megan a 5.5. Feels more like a sour than an IPA Brian also pitches a buddy cop movie with Warwick Davis and Peter Dinklage that absolutely needs to happen!!! Some say The Witch is a feminist film…, but we are not so sure about that.
