Here we discuss Rosemary’s Baby – one of the most iconic pieces of horror cinema from fugitive Roman Polanski who made made brilliant films and is also a very bad person. We speak more on it in the episode, but watching Rosemary’s Baby is such a time capsule for feminism, abuse of power, and the Satanic Panic. We get into it all and more, so watch the film before listening.

Please be mindful when tuning in, as we discuss sexual violence and the criminality of sexual violence, as well as the sex crimes that Polanski has plead guilty to. Listen with care.
