The Woman
This week we tackle a difficult-to-watch request from another loyal listener. Right in line with Lucky McKee’s incredibly female-centric filmography, The Woman is an uncomfortable watch that gave us a lot to discuss and consider.
February 14th is coming, and that means curling up with a loved one to watch a group of miners and their girlfriends get pickaxed to bits by a crazed killer in retaliation for an incident that happened on Valentine’s Day 20 years ago. Or at least, that’s how WE celebrate the holiday. How about you?
The result is an incredibly odd yet creepy horror flick that managed to give us quite a bit to chat about. Thanks, Ryan, for the suggestion!
We talk a lot on our podcast about how we believe children’s media diet ought to include some difficult, challenging, and scary material from time...
Needless to say, we had a lot to choose from for our tribute episode to this legendary contributor to cinema history, and indeed we have already covered several films he has scored, such as The Thing, The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, and Exorcist 2: The Heretic. We chose the Jaws knock-off “Orca” because…well, it’s a movie we’d always wanted to check out. And boy, were we pleasantly surprised.
