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.
