The VVitch (2015) + Magic Rain IPA 05.07.2025 1:25:19

Brian and Megan geek out over The Witch (2015), unpacking Puritan paranoia, Calvinism, and the quiet, creeping dread of a family unraveling in the wilderness. It’s a Job-esque tale of faith tested and fear turning inward—subtle, psychological, and deeply unsettling. Brian’s favorite character? Black Phillip, of course.

This week, we revisit A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)—the slasher classic that built New Line Cinema—and dive into dream logic, dad toupees, and the questionable ethics of ignoring your screaming girlfriend. W...
