Popcorn Eschaton 38 - 'The Spirit Of The Beehive' And 'The Devil's Backbone'
Scott and John take a trip to the Spanish Civil War to look at two profound meditations on death, conflict, and childhood, Victor Erice's 'The Spirit of the Beehive' and Guillermo del Toro's 'The Devil's Backbone.' They discuss how each film approaches fascism and finds beauty even in the most devastating tragedies.
