Continuing our series looking back at some of the best horror of 2022, #2022.2, we're heading all the way back to the 800's for visionary director Robert Eggers' intensely immersive Norse epic: THE NORTHMAN. Joining us in this quest for Valholl is friend of the show and founding director of The Order of St Hildegard, Frances Cutshaw. Together we explore the myriad of compelling imagery, symbolism, and narrative heft that this fascinating film has to offer: from its visceral brutality, its fascination with religious imagery, its earthy, subversive gender dynamics, and its ultimately disarming message of hope and justice.

Also featuring a "Whatcha" patron segment, this is a hearty and fun conversation we hope you enjoy.
