   Episode 285- No Really, It's The Season of the Witch

   Jacki and Marissa dive into George Romero's Season of the Witch as well as the Pierce Brother's The Wretched. These films give Marissa plenty of ammunition to talk feminism, and explore misogynistic themes often associated with witches and women.
