Em Burnham 0:42
From Mamma Mia, welcome to The Spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm Anne Burnham. And I'm Aneesha Riswaran. And on the show today, we have a very, very special Friday show. Because you might remember a little old episode of The Spill where Brie and TB watched a trailer. A trailer, for what I'm seeing, might be the perfect movie. Although this trailer is very, very strange.
Monisha Iswaran 1:08
I'm talking about Wicca. I I feel like it's everywhere. So many people have sent this to me being like, so we're going to see the hot wooden man in October.
Georgie Crawford 1:15
Oh.
Kate Langbroek 1:18
I want you to make me a husband.
Georgie Crawford 1:20
Be at the chapel in a month.
Kate Langbroek 1:22
Good.
Unknown 1:30
I am here to marry you.
Monisha Iswaran 1:34
What's that?
Unknown 1:34
This is my husband. I heard that he's strong as a tree and just as hard.
Kate Langbroek 1:41
He's Wicca. Straightened me right out.
Monisha Iswaran 1:52
Did you know there was two different versions of this trailer? Yes, I have heard there's another version where you see the full length of him for a brief second. I haven't actually seen that one.
Em Burnham 2:04
I was trying to find it. You see like a lot more. I think you get a lot more surface area of Wicca that you experience in the UK trailer. Whereas in the US trailer, which is the one that's most widely shared, it's a tiny bit more conservative.
Monisha Iswaran 2:17
Just a little bit. For anyone who hasn't seen it and has no idea what we're talking about, should we give them a little rundown on what Wicca is? Okay. Do you want to do that or shall I?
Em Burnham 2:26
I'm going to try. It's not your strong suit. Maybe you.
Monisha Iswaran 2:29
No, I'll try. I'll give it a go.
Em Burnham 2:30
I'll give it a go. So Wicca, it's a movie that stars Olivia Colman and... Alexander Skarsgård. Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage. And they are living in this seaside town in the Middle Ages, right? I had no idea it was seaside. I reckon it's 19th century. Oh, it has to be seaside because she's a fisherwoman. Oh, true. And the whole town's people make fun of Olivia Colman's character because she hasn't married and she's a fisherwoman. So she goes to Peter Dinklage, who's like the town, I want to say weaver, and she's like, can you make me a husband? Yes. And he's like, get the chapel in a month. And she's like, all right. And he weaves her an actual live husband made purely out of wicker.
Yes.
Em Burnham 3:16
Yes, and then they have a lot of hot sex.
Monisha Iswaran 3:18
Yeah, it's a very horny movie from the trailer. There's a scene where he just gets his wooden erection, his wood, I don't know. And then they just have lots of sex and she's like screaming and her whole life is great.
Em Burnham 3:29
Yes, and I hear the women in the town, from what I can see from the trailer, they get very jealous because she's having such a good time. And the men in the town also get jealous from a perspective of like, we need to kill this weird creature man. He's outdoing us. He's outdoing us. It's about men's insecurity. You know what it kind of reminds me of?

What is the Wicca trailer and why did it spark the episode’s theme?

Em Burnham 3:46
It kind of reminds me of, and this is a long shot, so stick with me, the Bee movie. Whereas, you know, the main character, how her boyfriend was like, why are you spending so much time with this bee? I kind of see it from the perspective of the townspeople going, why is this like Wicker Man just here in our town?
Monisha Iswaran 4:06
Yeah, but like none of them wanted to be with her. So I'm like, just let her be with Wicker Man. He has quite a hot, basket-y body. Like he's definitely.
Em Burnham 4:13
Oh, yeah. Peter Dinklage's character did works on this body. He did a good job.
Monisha Iswaran 4:17
He gave him a six pack. Yes. And arms and biceps. And you know, originally it was going to be played by Dev Patel.
