This week Joy and Laura discuss season 1 episode 5 “Bloody Mary”.

We discuss our own experience with sleepover games, Joy talks about her own Bloody Mary experience and we consider the possible origins of the Bloody Mary urban legend.

Joy has another show Easter egg for us about Toledo, we discuss the effects trauma has on mental health and our own experiences with this, and we have WILDLY differing opinions about the scene where Dean punches out the police officers.

Editing Joy's note here:

I want to clarify that while it’s unspoken (because we knew this episode was going to be longer and so we needed to be somewhat brief when discussing different topics in this week’s show) 

I just want to make it really clear that it should never matter how a girl dresses or speaks, we should always listen when she speaks out and her pain should never become a cultural joke. 

I also want to note that I hope that everyone can see the parallel that I’m drawing between these unsolved cases, femicide statistics, as well as women listening to true crime in order to feel prepared in this world. We also, often, don’t want cold cases to be unsolved or the names of the women before us to just fade away. They lived and they matter and they deserved more from the world.

Don’t forget to email us your own Bloody Mary experiences or just childhood spooky stories.

Stay safe out there, have each other’s backs, and always keep fighting!

Special thanks to our friend Karly who has Executive Producer credit on this episode, she knows why and she's a star!
