It may not have been appreciated in its time, but we appreciate it now! We’re talking all about the expressionist, noir inspired, gothic, thriller about a serial killer The Night Of The Hunter. This episode has more singing than you might expect, but we also talk about religious hypocrisy, fairy tales, the loss of innocence, and Icey Spoon.
Also: aptronym. It’s called an aptronym.
