The Wicker Man (1973)

Author: Kristian Boruff October 16, 2020 Duration: 1:01:45

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?

Ever find yourself in a long debate with friends about which movie truly deserves the crown? That’s the exact energy fueling Movie Trap, a weekly showdown hosted by Kristian Boruff, Russell Carlsen, and Zach Powers. Each episode, these three friends engage in a spirited, best-of-three movie challenge, defending their picks and dissecting everything from classic scenes to hidden flaws. The stakes are real-whoever wins the duel gets to choose the theme for the next round, leading to unpredictable jumps from cult horror to forgotten comedies or epic sci-fi. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a lively, informed conversation where passionate arguments and genuine laughter are always on the menu. You’ll hear deep dives into why a film works or fails, personal connections to the stories, and the kind of friendly rivalry that only cinephiles who truly know each other can have. It’s less a formal review and more a record of three people testing their movie knowledge and tastes against one another, making for a consistently engaging and relatable listen for anyone who loves TV and film.
