FOLK Pt 4: TV Folk Horror & The psychology of cults

This week Mike is joined by Mary Wild to discuss folk horror from a psychoanalytic perspective, then Thom Burgess to take a spoiler free look at folk horror on the small screen, from 70s TV shows like Robin Redbreast and Children of the Stones, through to modern day U.S. shows like True Detective and American Horror Story.
