Penny Dreadful (ft. Tessa Strain)

On today's episode of I'm Obsessed With This, host Bobby Finger welcomes writer Tessa Strain (@tessastrain) to discuss a show she reluctantly became obsessed with and has been telling me about for a while now, Penny Dreadful. She explains the hallmarks of gothic fiction, why Penny Dreadful's omnivorousness is so dang appealing, and even coins the term "galoot-core." (If you want to find out what it means, you'll just have to listen.) The episode contains spoilers, of course, and you can watch all three seasons of Penny Dreadful now on Netflix.
