01/25/25 • 77 min
1/20/25- Join us as we, Esme and our special co-host Jessica D., unravel the psychological twists and turns of "Run Rabbit Run," a film that embraces haunting psychological narratives over traditional scares. Set in the eerie landscapes of Australia, the movie weaves a tale of a fertility doctor Sarah and her daughter, Mia, where family dynamics and a mysterious rabbit stir emotions and evoke questions about reality and guilt.
The conversation takes a riveting turn as we discuss the unsettling family visit that spirals into chaos when Mia's grandmother mistakes her for someone else, unraveling deep-seated family secrets and triggering eerie childhood memories for Sarah. As we piece together this chilling storyline, we explore the symbolic presence of the rabbit and its mysterious influence over Mia, connecting disturbing events and Sarah's haunting past. Our discussion raises intriguing questions about intention, culpability, and whether childhood actions are forgivable or permanently haunting.
In a heart-stirring segment, Jessica shares her own experience with sleep paralysis, leading us into broader questions of the supernatural. Did Jessica's mom come to her from the other side to comfort her? To warn her? Or to possibly cross her over?? This chilling encounter with what seemed like an otherworldly presence fuels a conversation about the blurring lines between reality and the dream world, where entities might lurk in the shadows. As we wrap up, we invite our listeners to reflect on guilt, forgiveness, and the open-ended mysteries of "Run Rabbit Run," urging them to share their interpretations of the film's enigmatic conclusion.

In this episode we review of the thrilling world of "Wolf Man," where horror meets deep emotional resonance. We dive into the themes that define this film—questioning whether it truly belongs in the pantheon of cinematic horror or whether critics are simply missing the point.

The exploration of survival instincts that resonate with us all. With stellar performances from Julia Gardner and Christopher Abbott, “Wolf Man” beckons us into a tale of fatherhood and confronting one's demons.

Join us as we discuss the questions it raises about relationships, responsibilities, and the chilling truths we often overlook in horror.
