| 0:08.5 | Hey, welcome to Weird House Cinema Rewind. |
| 0:11.8 | This is Rob Lamb, as promised, since we're on vacation. |
| 0:15.6 | This is going to be part two of two in our look at 1973's The Wicker Man. |
| 0:20.1 | We just re-aired part one on Monday, and so here is the second half. Enjoy. |
| 0:29.8 | Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of IHeart Radio. |
| 0:42.4 | Hey, welcome to Weird House Cinema. |
| 0:43.4 | This is Rob Lamb. |
| 0:56.9 | And this is Joe McCormick, and we're back with part two of our Weird House Cinema feature on the 1973 British folk horror classic, The Wicker Man, starring Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward, and Diane Chelento. Normally on Weirdhouse, we keep it to one episode per movie, but we figured we would |

| 1:45.6 | what I said last time. As always, there are going to be extensive spoilers in our discussion. We |
| 1:51.2 | usually talk about the plot in pretty great detail. And the Wicker Man is a movie that I think |
| 1:56.5 | really benefits from viewing with no foreknowledge or as little foreknowledge as possible. So if you |
| 2:03.4 | have an appetite for this kind of thing, if you're comfortable with 70s folk horror themes in |
| 2:08.5 | general R-rated content, R-rated in terms of sex and violence, strangely, I don't recall much foul |
