Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.

We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian.

On this episode, the Clever Ghouls discuss The VVitch, the 2016 historical psychological horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers. The film features a Puritan family in the early 17th century who are ostracized from their settlement and are forced to make their way in the wilderness, where they encounter all sorts of supernatural and scary things. Join us as we take a closer look at this film and talk about themes such as religious horror, reality vs. perception, temptation, groupthink, and humans as the REAL monsters.
This film is rated R for disturbing violent content and graphic nudity; however, we want to expand on this list a bit and let you know about a few more things that might be triggering, such as dead animals, child abduction and sacrifice, religious trauma, abuse, and gaslighting. For more information we invite you to visit The VVitch’s listing on DoesTheDogDie.com.
