Right, so I sat down all cozy, cup of tea in hand, ready for the new episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast*, where Clay and Amanda are diving into the *original* 1973 classic of British folk horror, *The Wicker Man* — and I'm thinking, “Alright, here we go. The bees. Where are the bees?” But then the movie ends, and guess what? *No bees.* Not a single bee. No buzzing, no screaming, no Nicolas Cage in a cage yelling “NOT THE BEES.” Just Christopher Lee in a big ol' wig and a bunch of cheerful pagans singing folk tunes about corn. And it hits me… ohhh. *This* is the *good* one.This episode is a deep, respectful, and slightly unnerving look into Robin Hardy's weird, wild, and wonderfully pagan film that helped define the folk horror genre. Clay and Amanda talk about Sergeant Howie's journey to the secluded Summerisle, where the people are a bit too happy, the kids sing very inappropriate songs, and every path leads him toward a very *flammable* fate. It's got sexual tension, religious paranoia, and a musical number about a landlord's daughter. And absolutely no bees.But if you *do* want bees — or just want to hear about the gloriously unhinged 2006 remake starring Nic Cage — well, *that's* over on their Patreon feed. You're welcome.So light your May Day bonfire, grab your closest animal costume, and join Clay and Amanda as they explore one of horror's most haunting finales. Because sometimes the real horror… is realizing you've been thinking of the wrong Wicker Man for 17 years.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear all the coverage of remakes and reboots this year!

Dominic and Justin Hardy were young boys when their father, the director Robin Hardy, began a gruelling and obsessive quest to make The Wicker Man. Now the film is regarded as a masterpiece and beloved by fans across the world, but when it was first released in 1973, it was a major flop. The fallout for the Hardy family was painful, tearing them apart. It would take many decades, a bundle of lost letters and another burning effigy for Dominic and Justin to finally come to terms with the past – and this iconic movie.Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Maryam MarufGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

For the first time in history, the Paris 2024 Olympics saw an equal number of men and women competing. But that's not always been the case - in fact, back in 1912, the father of the Olympic games Pierre de Coubertin said that having women compete in the games would be 'impractical, uninteresting, ungainly and, I do not hesitate to add, improper'. Luckily, the Olympics didn't just have the father of the games – it also had the MOTHER of games, Alice Milliat.

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're diving into the eerie, enigmatic, and utterly unforgettable world of The Wicker Man (1973). Directed by Robin Hardy, this British folk horror film has become a cult classic, celebrated for its atmospheric tension, haunting soundtrack, and a storyline that lingers long after the credits roll.The Wicker Man transports us to the remote island of Summerisle, where Police Sergeant Neil Howie (played by Edward Woodward) arrives to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. What he discovers is a community steeped in pagan rituals and traditions, starkly contrasting with his devout Christian beliefs.Howie's investigation unravels in a community that at first seems idyllic and welcoming, but harbors dark secrets beneath its surface. The islanders, led by the charismatic Lord Summerisle (a role immortalized by Christopher Lee), engage in practices that bewilder and horrify the devout sergeant, leading him on a path that culminates in one of cinema's most shocking finales.The Wicker Man is more than a horror film; it's a piece of cinematic art that questions, provokes, and mesmerizes. Its influence can be seen in numerous films and TV shows that followed, making it essential viewing for fans of the genre and cinephiles alike.So, whether you're a long-time fan or new to the haunting tale of Sergeant Howie and the island of Summerisle, join us as we explore the legacy, the lore, and the lasting impact of "The Wicker Man."

The Wicker Man is a cult movie about a cult, so that alone makes it a good choice for Scary Movie Month. Robin Hardy's film is really more of a mystery than a horror extravaganza though, as the pious and intentionally unlikable policeman from the mainland (Edward Woodward) slowly finds out just how dedicated the Scottish islanders are to their Lord (Christopher Lee). These people love their apples. They're also liberated, sexy and even like to have fun on Summerisle, but they're often mean-spirited as they essentially torture the repressed cop. The picture isn't especially frightening, but the iconic ending is disturbing and haunting. Oh, and as influential as The Wicker Man is, we forgot to mention that this movie was also the inspiration for the Burning Man Festival! We DID often mention the ludicrous Nicolas Cage remake a lot though. Something about a shark.

Retail chain Best Buy announced they will abandon all physical media in their stores and online starting in 2024. In other words, shop anywhere else especially for the titles we discuss every week here on the show with Peter Sobczynski. This week you can be “one of us” with the latest from Criterion, swashbuck with Douglas Fairbanks or get held hostage by Humphrey Bogart on Blu-ray. There is more new 4K horror from Stan Winston, Robin Hardy, Barbra Streisand and one of the more underappreciated remakes of the 1980s. There is also an extensive documentary for a classic from that decade and one of the films we asked for on our Why Is This Not On Blu-Ray shows finally gets an upgrade from Kino. All that and more that you cannot get at Best Buy in the future. 0:00 - Intro 3:31 - Criterion (Freaks/The Unknown/The Mystic: Tod Browning's Sideshow Shockers, EO, The Innocent, No Bears) 20:52 - Arrow (The Desperate Hours) 25:31 - Cohen Media (The Three Musketeers / The Iron Mask) 30:20 - Cinedigm (RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop          ) 38:22 - Kino (The Best of Times, The Blob (1988) (4K) 51:49 - Shout!

Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.[8] Also discussed: ACAB, workers' rights, folk horror, Neil L*bute, The Wicker Tree, Lair of the White Worm, Robin Hardy, folk horror in the UK vs the US, classism, Julius Caesar, Nothing But Trouble, Catholicism, Derry Girls, The Last of Sheila, Stephen Sondheim's torture dungeon,  NEXT WEEK: Orgasmo aka Paranoia (1969)Website: http://www.bloodhauspod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/Email: bloodhauspod@gmail.com         Drusilla's art: https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/Drusilla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydesister/ Drusilla's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/drew_phillips/ Joshua's website: https://www.joshuaconkel.com/Joshua's Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoshuaConkel Joshua's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/Joshua's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joshuaconkel

He is impeded by a secretive and overtly sexual populace whose charismatic leader (Chritopher Lee) is also a businessman and a pagan cultist.In this spoilerific examination, Ian expresses his surprise and dismay at a film he's heard about for years, but which is a very different kind of horror movie than he'd expected.The guys talk about The Wicker Man's cult status, its surprising take on religious morality, and why it is the perfect example of a landmark movie whose ideas and aesthetics can only be improved upon!Correction: Christopher Lee's Lord Summerisle shows up at the 40-minute mark in the film--which is both earlier and later than Ian and Aaron claimed in the discussion.Show Links:Watch the Wicker Man trailer.Subscribe to AC's YouTube channel, which is positively dripping with fiendishly fresh content!Catch up with 2022's year-long journey, "Son of Hammerland"!And watch the series that started it all: "Hammerland"!Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!

This episode, the Spoop Bois Aaron and Derek cover 1973's British folk horror classic "The Wicker Man" directed by Robin Hardy. They spend a lot of time comparing and contrasting Sgt. Neil Howie and Lord Summerisle and how both are presenting dubious, religious exteriors. They also talk about the influence the film had on folk horror and pop culture, the creation of the fictious community, the menacing acting presence of Sir Christopher Lee, the wild mess of a remake, among many other aspects of the movie. Derek is fine, but his acceptability is limited. Aaron is even better, but not nearly as effective as the right kind of podcaster.
