Hide under the covers when you hear the knock—the Babadook has arrived. Continuing our love of women-centered horror, we sat down to watch Jennifer Kent’s 2014 'The Babadook,' and discuss themes of motherhood, grief, and the existential dread of winter in Australia. Bonus content: a frank discussion on childhood fears and the utterly bizarre film 'Mars Attacks.' Show notes are here: https://metamashina.com/2019/08/27/episode-047-we-did-it-all-for-the-babadook/
