All the hormones and theories make it surprisingly easy for us to empathize with Freddy Krueger. But that's not to say he's not a killer; he's still not your average, friendly neighbor. Confidence, morality, and dreams - oh my! Also, why is it so hard to get help from adults these days? Don't let A Nightmare on Elm Street be your nightmare.

Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
Nurses have never seemed so sly. Was Nurse Ratched being manipulative or just keeping order? You decide. We also get into the nitty gritty of the harshest scene of the film (poor Billy). The power of voice, control, and eery calm has never looked so interesting. Tiana also shares a trippy literary piece written from the perspective of Nurse Ratched.

Yubaba and No Face (Spirited Away)
No Face, a lost soul looking for a friend. Yubaba, a lady who knows how to give you customer service chills. Also, a very short crash course in the elements of Shintoism that are beautifully placed throughout the film Spirited Away. How can we use Shintoism to further understand these characters? Featuring a nice short contemplative poem at the end.
