The Wicker Man
For years, Mike has been urging Dan to see Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man (1973)--and Dan finally has. Topics of discussion include Deliverance, the blessings of low-budgets, self-immolation, movie marketing, Santa Claus, Hitchcock, Dostoevsky, A Clockwork Orange, how phones work in movies, The Planet of the Apes, the 23rd Psalm, Full Metal Jacket, and the film's brilliant merging of a detective story with existential dread. Dan sings a few bars and Mike offers the sobering thought that all of us need to have our ducks in a row, especially when they are in cages. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/15minutefilmfanatics/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/15minutefilmfanatics/support
