This week, Hammond Chamberlain is back on the show and he brought a film that is near and dear to him, The Amazing Mr. Blunden (1972). Travis hadn't even heard of this movie before it was brought up, so this is a brand new experience. It's set in 1918, when a couple of young children from London move in to a new house on an old and presumeably haunted estate in the countryside. When they meet the ghosts of Sara and Georgy they learn that they are not dead. At least, not yet. But also, that they will be. It's time travel, ghost story, and a lot of heart.

In the sixteenth century, witch trials were a fact of life. Women were being hauled before courts across Europe. Confessions were extracted under torture. Executions followed. Into this world stepped Johann Weyer, who looked at all of it—the confessions, the trials, the executions—and said that these women are sick, not sinful. They are patients, not criminals. And the men putting them on trial ought to know better.

Albertus Magnus, the thirteenth-century polymath known as the Universal Doctor, had a problem. To some, he was the greatest natural philosopher of his age. To others, he was a dangerous sorcerer who built talking automatons, disguised himself as a midwife to learn forbidden secrets, and wrote books on summoning demons. Was Albertus Magnus a saint, or was he a sorcerer? The answer to this question would help define the very boundary between science and magic.
