Episode 174- Kaixo! (That Means "Hello"!)

Ladies of Nerditude

This supersized episode takes us abroad to The Basque Country for two historical period films that are appropriate for October. "Akelarre" ("Coven") is set in 1609 during the Basque Witch Trials and tells the story of six teenage girls accused of being in league with Lucifer. "Errementari" is set in the early 1800s after the First Carlist War and tells the story of a blacksmith and a demon trying to outwit each other while a little girl searches for her mother, who has been cast into Hell. These movies explore historical reality as well as folklore of a region not often discussed. Take a trip with the Ladies to the Pyrenees for some new Halloween material! *SPOILERS* for Erementaari and Akelarre
