Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
The Wicker Man has gotten a bad rap in recent years, thanks to the widely ridiculed 2006 remake starring Nicolas Cage. But this episode, we're setting aside the "not the bees!" jokes for a closer look at the original 1973 classic. Amy Otero joins the show to go in-depth on The Wicker Man. We'll discuss its representation of pagan culture, how it uses folk music, and its influence on horror. Who is the real villain of director Robin Hardy's movie? SYNOPSIS Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents' frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland), daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders' strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.

Nic Cage November kicks off as we talk about The Wicker Man (2006). This unintentionally funny remake of the 1973 film is one of Nic Cage's most infamous roles.

Joey lays out the pagan symbolism of 1973’s The Wicker Man starring Christopher Lee while Adam and Michael sort tapes and have a separate conversation about 2006’s Wicker Man starring Nicholas Cage.
Since its release in 1973, Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man has exerted a profound influence on the development of horror cinema, a rich vein of folk music, and the modern pagan revival more generally. Anthony Shaffer's ingenious screenplay gives us a thrilling yarn that is also a meditation on the nature of religious belief and practice. Just in time for Halloween, Phil and JF discuss the philosophical ideas that undergird this folk horror classic, focusing on the perennial role of sacrifice in religious thought.

It's time for our Halloween special, and it's a very special Halloween special this year. Not only is it our last episode, but we're reviewing our favourite horror movies! First up, Mick nearly breaks the purpose of the show by questioning whether The Wicker Man is a horror movie or not. Then Tim brings a late-period Hammer classic out of its sarcophagus with Blood From the Mummy's Tomb. In the second half of the show, Rob opens the book on Jennifer Kent's queer cinema milestone The Babadook, and finally Graham risks the wrath of Stephen King with Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. What better companion to a quiet five months in? Not that we plan to be gone for that long. Cinema Eclectica may be over, but we've got two - two! - new movie podcasts coming your way in 2021.

Boruff's choice for best horror film from 1969-1980 is the timeless classic of Celtic horror, The Wicker Man. Carlsen finds a link to his favorite band, Neurosis. The fact that Boruff picked a Vashti Bunyan-style folk-horror-musical is not lost on Zach. It's wonderful! But will it win?

It's time for your appointment with The Wicker Man! This week we review the 1973 cult classic by Robin Hardy. Rated as one of the top ten British films of all time, The Wicker Man defies film making convention, skirting the line between horror and thriller, while making a comment on religion and its relationship to modern society. While paid nothing for his work, Christopher Lee stars as Lord Summerisle in this breakout role that would eventually lead him to later fame in the Lord of the Rings and the Star Wars prequels. Besides a little sacrificial unpleasantness, both Matt and Mark agree, to be a 'born again pagan' may not be all that bad. Enjoy!Download: The Wicker Man (Recorded in 2012)
Let's face it, we all have them - The movies that we know deep down in our heart are bad, but we love them anyway. Whether its for their nostalgic value or their campy value, we don't care what the world say & we watch them anyway. That's where Jake and Tom's pal Randy comes in. You see, in addition to his big dumb comedy show, "Miserable Retail Slave", Randy is the host of a new program called "Someone's Favorite Movie". In it, he discusses the forgotten classics, the hidden gems, and yes, the guilty pleasures that other shows tend to shy away from. So listen in as he and the guys sit down to talk about the endurance needed to make it through the "Leprechaun" franchise, the jealousy Jake feels at not being included in this endeavor, as well the strange career of Adam Sandler. Be sure to help Jake and Tom in their quest for world domination by rating them highly on Apple Podcasts, sharing their stuff with your friends, following them on social media, checking out Tom's guest spots on a certain podcast, and by supporting all of the shows brought to you by the guys' partners in internet radio, Geeks Worldwide!

Welcome to the 'Art Cinema, Fart Cinema' Halloween Special. So glad you could make it. It's all sort-of scary movies, all sort-of sort-of Halloweeny. This first part of 'Wicker Man, Wicked Woman' concerns all things 'The Wicker Man': the 1973 horror musical classic and its pish 2006 Nicolas Cage remake. Distinctly Scottish in its formulation, this episode has Simon and Nadeem firing on all Wicker Mans. We also discuss how blooming bad films are these days, Britt Ekland's faux nudity, vampire bats (not really, would've been cool though) and the genius of Eewaawoowaa. Enjoy! Part 2 will be released next week, on Halloween, baby boy.
Three lifelong Scots take on the challenge of summing up Scottish representation on-screen, from urban life in 'Trainspotting' and 'Red Road' to rural Scotland in 'The Wicker Man' and 'Brave'. Scotland's homemade programming such as 'Still Game' and the Opening Ceremony of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games offer a glimpse into what image Scotland gives of itself to the rest of the world, while Hollywood's most well-known fantasy and sci-fi characters provide clues as to how Scotland is received. Join us in our quest to answer whether Scotland is under- or misrepresented on screen, and who, if anyone, gets it right!

We return to the film 'The Wicker Man', looking at themes of manipulation, ritual drama, and staged provocation, before transposing these concepts onto the current metapolitical climate as we see it. We explore the idea of 'the willing fool' archetype being incited by 'crisis actors' to role-play in dramatic and provocative theatre, from 'terror attacks' to reactionary meme wars; looking at how this alchemical concept of the meta-theatre is being used to advance a strategy of tension. We also look at the conflict between the left and right archetypes in sociopolitical trends, and how different demographics are being lured into base, suicidal ideologies by theatric provocations, ultimately accepting martyrdom. Finally, we discuss the esoteric aspects of dialectical conflict, and how secret societies like Freemasonry have always used opposing forces to induce tension and create change, touching on concepts of staged terror events, political antagonism, and social malaise. Topics discussed include: The Wicker Man, Manipulation, Provocation, Terror Attacks, Political Conflict, Dallas Shooting, France Event, Overstimulation, Social Tension, Crisis Actors, 'The Willing Fool', The Clown, Propaganda, Mass Confusion, Conspiracy Culture, Extremism, Alt-Right, Left vs Right, Justice, Religion, Right Wing, Sacrifice, Radicalisation, Reactionary Rhetoric, Strategy of Tension, Racism, Leftism, Popular Attitudes, LGBT, Debates, Triggers, Ritual Dramas, Archetypes, Role Play, Political Demographics, Martyrdom, Alchemy, Meta-Theatre, Operation Gladio, P2 Lodge, Creative Destruction, Dialectics, Secret Societies, Freemasonry, Square & Compass, Opposing Forces, Regeneration, Controlling Narratives, CIA, Political Candidates, Occult Process, Masks, Possession, Anonymous, Crowd Psychology, Global Meta-Theatre, Playing The Fool, The Wicker Man Afterthoughts, Unworthy Sacrifice.
On this episode, we continue looking at themes of occult ritual and esoteric psychodrama via the 1973 mystery/horror film 'The Wicker Man'. Another 'conspiracy-classic', the film follows a Scottish Highlands Police Officer who travels to a remote island community after being tipped off about a missing schoolgirl. After encountering the Heathen rites and traditions of the townsfolk, he eventually deduces that a ritual sacrifice to the Pagan gods is being planned, thus inciting him to infiltrate the ceremony. We discuss the arcane arts of manipulation and subterfuge, the 'Willing Fool' archetype, and the myopic misunderstandings of the Christian initiate as he wills himself to martyrdom. We also take a look at the dichotomy of psychological principals that are played out through the clash between Paganism and Christianity, and touch on the possibility of a higher Masonic conspiracy on both sides of the religious divide. Be sure to join us on our next review, as we draw parallels between 'The Wicker Man' and the current sociopolitical climate, where crisis actors and 'willing fools' are fuelling the strategy of tension. Topics discussed include: 'The Wicker Man', Robin Hardy, Synchronicity, Scotland, Scottish Highlands, Hebridean Islands, Summerisle, Christian Police Officer, Pagan Community, All-Seeing-Eye Symbolism, 'The Green Man' Inn, The Bartender's Daughter, Willow, Sex Magick, Regenerative Rituals, Fertility, Shock and Offence, Maypole, Mayday, Phallic Symbolism, Folk Music, Deception, Manipulation, 'The Willing Fool', Tarot Archetypes, Religious Conflict, Psychological Interpretations, Ego, Force vs Understanding, Masculinity vs Femininity, Monogamy vs Polygamy, Techniques of Subterfuge, Sexual Energies, Temptation, Seduction, Lord Summerisle, Wordplay, Masonic Undertones, Kilts, Aprons, Gloves, Swords, Religion as Social Control, 'Punch, The Fool', Ritual Sacrifice, Pagan Ritual, Hermaphrodite, Hobby Horse, Fish, Myopic Attitudes, 'Willing, Virgin, King-Like Fool' archetype, Irony, Christian Morality vs Pagan Morality, Wicca, Martyrdom, 'King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime', Patriarchy vs Matriarchy, Hexagonal Sword Ceremony, Passing Through the Gate, Masonic Ritual, Star of David, Opposing Principals, Seal of Solomon, Understanding of Religion, The Crown, Wider Conspiracy, Playing Roles, Ritual Drama, Provocation, Sacrificial Magick, Similarities between Religions.
This week Mike and Dustin dip into the British Film Institute's Top 100 list and journey to mysterious Summerisle to tackle 1973's The Wicker Man. Is this movie truly the Citizen Kane of horror films or is it simply popular because of the impression its anti-establishment themes and nudity would have made on a young, pre-internet teenage audience? Listen to the commentary and see how this classic fares at the roundtable. Also in this episode, we talk a little about the new poll feature and clarify our use of the term 'classic'.
