About this episode
Io Saturnalia! In celebration of the Roman holiday of role reversal, gift giving and letting go, we take a closer look at the chained god Saturn/Cronus/Chronos. Putting on our saturnine glasses, we discuss his presence in myth, folklore, Lovecraft and most recently, in the Hollywood blockbuster movie "The Fantastic Four: First Steps“. Spoilers abound. Happy holidays!
