Of Vengeance & Valhalla: Robert Eggers' The Northman
Grab your blade or battle axe, and join Aaron & guest host Chris Wolford as they go "berserker" and pillage the plot of Robert Eggers’ third feature-length film, The Northman. This epically sweeping Nordic revenge saga combines Viking mythology with Viking reality, culminating in a volcanic eruption of red-hot Viking vengeance and a valkyrie wail. Hypnotic, hallucinatory, stunningly Shakespearean, and utterly badass, the film takes Eggers’ unique true-to-period aesthetic to expensive new heights and channels the likes of Conan The Barbarian, Aguirre The Wrath Of God, Hamlet, MacBeth, and Andrei Rublev into a satisfying Viking quest for that great mead hall in the sky. This is one bloodletting you won't wanna miss out on!
