Shabcast 10: Gothic!

Published: Sept. 17, 2015, 10:12 a.m.

This time, I'm joined by the lovely and incredibly erudite\xa0Gene\xa0Mayes - of various Pex Lives appearances and his own excellent new blog Being and Time Lord - to chat about the Gothic.\xa0 We also focus specifically on the movie\xa0A Field in England, Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump's masterpiece of English Civil War-era madness, magic and mushrooms.\xa0 There be spoilers here, by the way.\xa0 We range pretty freely and get on to all sorts of other stuff including (but far from limited to) alchemy, John Dee, Hammer movies, Gothic novels, Marxism and Anarchism.\xa0 It's a long one (just over 3-hours, so feel free to listen in fits and starts) but I hope worth your time.\xa0\xa0

Here's\xa0Gene's blog post about\xa0A Field in England:\xa0http://beingandtimelord.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/building-dwelling-tripping.html
