Episode 131 - Santa Sangre

Published: Feb. 25, 2021, 9 a.m.

Hold onto your arms y’all, this is not one to sleep on. “Santa Sangre” comes to us straight from the ether thanks to acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, and his reputation definitely lived up to the hype. With a twinge of Giallo, and an elephant-coffin worth of deeply layered commentary, this magical movie is a bloody, trippy, sensual, irreverent piece of art. The guys split on their rating, but with Ryan being a “buy” and Tim inching toward a “buy” though remaining a “rent,” this one deserves a watch.
