Spoiler Specials: The Witcher
On the Spoiler Special podcast, Slate critics discuss movies, the occasional TV show, and, once in a blue moon, another podcast, in full spoiler-filled detail. This week, Sam Adams is joined by Benjamin Frisch, Rachelle Hampton and\xa0Daniel Schroeder to discuss The Witcher, Netflix\u2019s popular new show about a monster hunter. This show isn\u2019t the first adaptation from Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s work; video games based on The Witcher have been released starting in 2007. Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) is a monster hunter with supernatural powers. But, what exactly is a witcher? How will the Law of Surprise bring people together? Will Geralt ever find the girl in the forest who he is destined to find? And what kind of transformation comes at the cost of removing one\u2019s womb?\xa0\n\nYou can also check out past Spoiler Specials, and you can subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts.
