Episode 210: Heads Will Roll | Sleepy Hollow feat. Garden of Doom
There’s a little town upstate, a close-knit community - mainly Dutch - called Sleepy Hollow. The village is haunted by a terrible specter: the Headless Horseman. Only Ichabod Crane, a squeamish, yet sensible officer of the law can crack the mystery that plagues Sleepy Hollow - if he can avoid losing his head. Tim Burton’s Gothic melodrama Sleepy Hollow is a lush adaptation of the Washington Irving short story, ripe for exploration of its inspiration and deeper meaning - if there is a deeper meaning, that is. We talk about witchcraft, cardinals, feminism (maybe?), early American law enforcement, and the many headless horsemen of folklore and mythology.
Joining us as we get to the bottom of this movie is returning guest Jeff Lippman, the host of Garden of Doom. Thank you Jeff for your insight!
