Summary
Another deep dive analysis with @JayDyer and Tristan on the classic 1973 British folk horror film The Wicker Man and the 2006 remake starring Nicolas Cage. We discuss the cultural phenomenon of neopaganism through festivals such as Burning Man and the cultural revolution of the 1960's, and the engineered reimagining of the "Old Gods" as a tool for power and manipulation.

| 5:33.4 | but that his daughter is in on it with his wife, and he's the sacrifice. |
| 5:42.3 | And so what I absolutely liked about in this case one this last time, reviewing it was, I mean, it's so ridiculous that it's a comedy, |
