This week, your hosts are joined by actual literate human person and former professor of one half of your usual crew, Brian Hauser to discuss The Babadook. This week we talk about film and genre and the meaningfulness of horror in the cultural sphere, goddamn it, because we’re college-educated individuals with an interest in the theoretical examination of the things we’re passionate about and we don’t even make one dick joke this week, I swear to god.
