We had lots to talk about here! I enjoyed the film a lot.
On closer inspection the face at the beginning is probable more a Sun god like Belenus than the Green Man. I am definitely going to re-watch this film soon to see more of the imagery in it.
Our guest Dan Willis has a plethora of comedy writing to check out.

Links to things we talked about
The Scarfolk website is a comedy riff in the vein of classic British horror. For more information, please reread.
I enjoyed the Discovering Scarfolk book too, it’s kind of similar to The Wicker Man’s plot of an outsider investigating a unique town.
I remember seeing this public information advert a lot as a kid. They don’t make them as terrifying as they used to.
Hamza mentioned Mindhorn, Julian Barratt’s tale of a washed up actor playing detective.
Here is an article about how our brains sync up when listening to stories, and how that can change if we have different information about the story, based on Uri Hasson’s research.
This is the book by Yoshi Oida that Hamza lent me: The Invisible Actor, it was a very interesting read, all about ritual and performance.
Check out Edward Woodward as the Equalizer.
