In yet another exhumed episode, we (Mick and Ben) deep dive into the 1987 cult classic 'The Witches of Eastwick,' discussing its themes of female empowerment, feminist symbols, and standout performances by Michelle Pfeiffer, Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Jack Nicholson. George Miller's unique directorial style is compared to his work on the Mad Max series, emphasising his ability to create suspense and memorable characters.
The hosts also examine the Venus of Willendorf symbol, comparing the film adaptation to John Updike's original novel, and discussing important scenes that highlight the witches' journey of power discovery and their relationship with Daryl Van Horne.
Meanwhile, a critical review of the latest Venom movie 'Venom: The Last Dance' highlights its flawed plot and disappointing execution. The episode also reviews the new 'Absolute Wonder Woman' comic set in a reimagined universe created by none other than Darkseid, and discusses a gritty reinterpretation of Wonder Woman's origin from Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman
