Episode 30 brings you to the place. You came of your own free will. It’s time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man. What does this English film from 1973 do so right that the 2006 remake forgets to do entirely? Be good? Opinions may vary, but one thing is for sure- laugh for laugh, the original doesn’t have it over the remake. That’s Jolyon’s view on the hilarity that is Nicolas Cage on a rampage in a bear suit. Oh, and then there are bees….so many bees! Where the original has brilliant music and the talent of Christopher Lee, the remake has fiery flashbacks and the fighting abilities of Nicolas Cage. And lotsa yelling! Will calls the remake “dumb,dumb,dumb,dumb storytelling” yet has watched it several times. Do the people who attend the Burning Man festival know they’re totally copying the original movie’s aesthetic? We aren’t sure. Would James Franco make a good Gilligan? That’s a solid yes, as long as Nic Cage gets to play the Professor! Now rattle that pill bottle, check your epi pen and get ready to knock out a bunch of Pagans!
