It's Valentine's Day, so what better way to celebrate than to review a campy horror movie about a witch trying to find love? Garret joins us to talk about 2016's The Love Witch. Click the link below to listen! 

Please note: This is a pretty sexual film, and we'll be talking about that aspect of it, so... caveat emptor. 

No thoughts, just vibes or all thoughts and no vibes? Sydney told Monica and Chelsea to get “flavor blasted” before watching The Love Witch (2016), but we definitely needed our full mental faculties for this discussion. The movie was undoubtedly a labor of love from writer/director (and producer/songwriter/editor/production designer/art director/set decorator/costume designer/shall we go on) Anna Biller — and the finished product is a feast for the eyes, particularly with all the ‘60s inspired fashion — but whether or not it was a successful film is up for discussion. There’s at least one thing we can all agree on, though: Gahan is the absolute worst.
