The Wicker Man (2006)

Saturday Night Freak Show

02/10/18 • 84 min

Holly suggests a better sacrifice to The Wicker Man (2006) might be the film itself, as the often-imitated-but-never-duplicated screen icon Nicholas Cage finds himself alone on an island populated by an all-female pagan cult; he thinks he's there to rescue a young girl from becoming a sacrificial victim but, well, you've seen the "not the bees!" memes. Listen as we are denied our moment of ultimate satisfaction by watching the theatrical cut instead of the unrated version; compare the film to the 1973 original classic; Sean gets a brain cramp; and Holly mistakes director Neil LaBute for 90's pop stars La Bouche, all on this week's exciting episode!
