Episode description
Hello and Happy Halloween! We're bringing Shocktober to a close with LGBTQ icon, The Babadook. This top-hatted specter and his pop up book became all the rage in the years following the film's release, but memes aside, how does Jennifer Kent's tale of grief and parenting hold up? We discuss that, parenting, abuse, grief, and much, much more as we dive into this ghostly tale. As we wrap Shocktober, stay through to the end to hear next week's title! Tune in now!
