Witchy Business: Talking Feminism and the American Witch Film with Payton McCarty-Simas

Get ready to hustle up some bibles, condemn some apostates, and declare that someone IS NO KIN OF YOURS, as tonight the Bop Crew interviews Payton McCarty-Simas, author of That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film. Together they have a fascinating discussion on their favorite witch films, the unique properties of American hysteria, the environmental factors that lead to booms in either witch hunts of witch flicks, why there were so many goddamn warlocks in the eighties, and the explicit fascism of the Veronica Lake vehicle I Married A Witch.Pick up your copy of That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film: https://www.lunapresspublishing.com/product-page/that-very-witch-that-very-witch-fear-feminism-and-the-american-witch-movie (also available wherever books are sold!)Check out Payon on Instagram: @paytplaceTaboo Acts, Queer Allegories: Cannibalism, Incest, and Queerness as Transgression in Genre Film | PAYTON McCARTY-SIMASThe Substance Is a Witch Film | by Payton McCaty-SimasCheck out the mega documentary IN SEARCH OF DARKNESS 1995-99 by CreatorVC: https://90shorrordoc.com?sca_ref=9729058.lIiOUEN8Xdhttps://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp
