Cults on Film Episode 6: Deprogramming (Holy Smoke! & Charlie Says)

In the final episode of our Cults on Film series, Sarah and Mary talk deprogramming in Jane Campion’s Holy Smoke! (1999) and Mary Harron’s Charlie Says (2018). Our discussion covers the termination of psychoanalysis, education and the ‘cult of love’. Also we wonder whether any Manson family member really cut an umbilical cord with their teeth and find out whether babies can breathe underwater. Thanks for listening to our latest series, we’ll be back with a new one in February.
