Episode 131 - Santa Sangre

Hold onto your arms y'all, this is not one to sleep on. "Santa Sangre" comes to us straight from the ether thanks to acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, and his reputation definitely lived up to the hype. With a twinge of Giallo, and an elephant coffin worth of deeply layered commentary, this magical movie is a bloody, trippy, sensual, irreverent piece of art.
