Although we never get to know the true story behind the hand, we do dive into the darks themes and theories surrounding this story. So when you are ready, say out loud "Talk to me" and press play wherever you are l...

Such theories include lots of death, mental illness, drug abuse, and the idea that Bikini Bottom is the result of nuclear waste.

Not only in length but in the history of Horror, Cats, and Witch hats as we had the absolute pleasure to host Lucy from the incredible true crime and comedy podcast, Wine and Crime (available where you listen https://wineandcrimepodcast.com/ and @wineandcrimepod). She chose Hereditary as our featured Halloween film and what a great pick it was! In typical Ari Aster fashion the cup over-floweth with easter eggs and historical details.
