The Cast of Cthulhu: H.P. Lovecraft’s Witch House
Battleship Pretension‘s David Bax returns almost two years after his first appearance to talk about yet another adaptation of “Dreams in the Witch House” (and also his latest podcast, The One Where I Met Your Mother and also his thoughts on NHL free agency). Basically everything from the production quality to narrative logic in Bobby Easley’s H.P. Lovecraft’s Witch House (based on the novel Push by Sapphire) is severely compromised but, gosh darnit, at least it feels like they’re trying. Sure, the ending muddles the entire journey and the story plays up too much Judeo-Christian mythology and the math literally adds up to nothing but at least they’re trying something beyond straight titillation.
