Daniel and I explode with laughter and party vibes during this final episode of our Carrie On My Wayward Son pumpkin-spiced-season-series.  Did we in fact smash the patriachy with this 9 part series? How many times has Daniel called me “Carrie” ? You tell us in a 5 star Apple Podcast Review.

We wax poetic as we look back at certain aspects of Carrie, like who in fact is the real which of Stephen King’s, Carrie? While we finally talk about stuff from the female gaze by discussing Oscar Issac in Dune, Brendan Fraser, and body types.

I ask the burning question you’ve all been waiting to hear : Why was a whole fish there? Daniel gets misgendered again, and he does his best to get me to take a break and write a poem. Do you in fact need a wand to make an invisibility cloak? The “strange charms” of women and Pan come up, Daniel cause me to laugh hysterically with some ‘bad numerology’, I make it about the number of the year and refuse to give the “creepy computer” my finger print.

We come back after a short break, you won’t even know we took, talk about the trailer for Brian De Palma’s Fury by doing our own versions of the trailer voice over.  Daniel gets us back on track by asking : What is Carrie really about?

Hear our poems about our Carrie-Verse experience ! Daniel recites his at the 40:34 minute mark and I recite mine at the 41:48 minute mark.

Lastly : Do we love Carrie ? Tune in to find out ! Plus a final bibliomancy using my Carrie notes at the end of this episode !

In this episode I read my poem : Leda, the swan, + me, talk about perhaps my favorite card of the Major Arcana : Strength, how being passive is actually doing something, and why feeling dumb is ok.

A non-sensical trailer to celebrate the completion of our 9 part journey thru Stephen King's book : Carrie, and the universe that was spawned from it, and before it !

Many thanks to those who have joined us on our journey !

We start off with time traveling serial killers, self love, and the horrors of Universal Studio rides that spit on you.

Then we get into Carrie 1952 with our Blueberry Ratings, and our initial thoughts on the film. Daniel loves a 1950’s rendition of an 1890’s “Mean Woman” and he'll tell you why !

Lawrence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, A Street Car Named Desire, and Gone with The Wind. I can’t help but talk about breasts and probably give the wrong history of the history of the bra, while Daniel actually tries *not* to talk about boobs !

We discuss the similarities ( or are they synchronicities??? ) of the Carrie 1952 movie (which was based on a book called : Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser), and Stephen King’s Carrie and the movies that followed.

Surprise! I dislike the male gaze-y point of view of the movie and we get confused by 1890’s society, etiquette and dating. Was Carrie the 1952 movie cursed? What was McCarthysim and how does it relate to the plot of this film? Would it surprise you to learn that the Sister Carrie book & titular character written by Theodore Dreiser was just as controversial as Stephen King’s Carrie? Listen in to find out !

Did I catch an EVP at the 22:54 minute mark ??? You tell me with a 5 star review on Apple Podcast ! We talk more male gaze bullshit as Daniel shares his thoughts on The Notebook, Ryan Gosling and who he would cast instead.

We end with child rearing advice from the 1890’s, possible plays on domesticity, another movie from 2018 called : Sister Carrie, based on Theodore Dreiser’s book, ask : What is love? Discuss a Star is Born, Lady Gaga, red flags, Andy Serkis, Tom Hardy, men, men, men, more Carrie Magic, the mundanity of Mind Magic, and The Power of Three.

Next week we have our blow out bash aka our “Carrie-O-Key” party to close out this 9 part pumpkin-spiced-season-series on the spookiest day of all : Halloween (10/31/21) !

LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED and TRIGGER WARNING as we talk about suicide!
