Episode 43: Mortified

Details, credits, errata: This week’s film is another A24 horror picture, Saint Maud, director Rose Glass’s first movie and a terrific flick Alissa has been trying to get Sam to watch for months. It has pretty much everything we like to talk about on this podcast, so it’s just the two of us this week, and we think you’ll dig the discussion.Our header image on the website this week is a picture of a polychrome wood carving of Mary Magdalene wearing a cilice or hair shirt undergarment, carved by 17th-century sculptor Pedro de Mena and currently residing at the National Museum of Sculpture in Valladolid. The image is made freely available through Wikimedia Commons and used with our thanks to the photographer, Nicolás Pérez.Our theme song is Louis Armstrong and His Hot 5’s Muskrat Ramble, made freely available by the Boston Public Library and audio engineering shop George Blood, LP through the Internet Archive. Saint Maud is copyright 2020 A24.
