Nick D – Nell Minow, EbertFest & Easter Witches?

About this episode

Nick discusses movie news and Easter traditions with guests Nell Minow and Esmeralda Leon.

Nick welcomes “The Movie Mom” Nell Minow back to the podcast to talk about what’s happening in Washington DC, some movie news, and a preview of this year’s EbertFest, including special screenings and featured guests. They also get into the new film The Drama, the horror documentary 1000 Women in Horror, and Nell shares details from her interview with the composer and screenwriter behind Project Hail Mary. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to catch up, take a few shots at the nonsense of April Fool’s Day, and talk about their Easter plans. That leads into a conversation about some of the strangest Easter traditions around the world, including whipping women for health and even the legend of the Easter Witch. [Ep 443]
