Episode 162 - The Spine of Night

This week for Scares and Satire we cover an epic dark fantasy animated movie about otherworldly power, class struggle, and interesting fantasy cultures, like swamp cults, bird clans, incel librarians, and ghoulishly underfed peasants ruled by whining despots. Which type of power comes out looking bast in this film: the patriarchal figures that hoard wealth and power for their own gains, or the matriarchal ones that have the people’s best interests at heart and share their knowledge for everyone’s benefit? Listen in and decide for yourself!
