Special Guests: Payton McCarty-Simas, Adam LowensteinGuest Co-Hosts: Father Malone, Rahne Alexander
George A. Romero trades zombies for suburban malaise in 1971's Jack’s Wife (AKA Season of the Witch, Hungry Wives), a spellbinding portrait of domestic despair and occult liberation. Jan White stars as Joan Mitchell, a disenchanted housewife drifting through a fog of loneliness and repression until she finds power--real or imagined--through witchcraft.
Rahne Alexander and Father Malone join Mike to dig into Romero’s haunting mix of feminist allegory, surreal dream logic, and kitchen-sink psychology. Mike interviews Professor Adam Lowenstein about Romero’s Pittsburgh years and scholar Payton McCarty-Simas about her new book That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film.
