Good Mourning, Nancy Podcast

This year is the 40th Anniversary of John Carpenter's Halloween! In honor of that, we'll be discussing some behind the scenes trivia, Laurie Strode as the original badass screen queen, the fears of domesticity, innocence lost, and stabbing the patriarchy in the eye with a wire hanger!

Bullseye! This week Gracie & Abbey discuss the most underrated American vampire film! Near Dark, even over 30 years later, is still eerily relevant to this day. Hatred against the "other," father's of the night and day, toxic masculinity, and women trying to survive in a patriarchal society (vampire or otherwise) are among some of the talking points.

In this week’s Coffee Break, Gracie & Abbey discuss the controversial t-shirt worn at the Suspiria premiere at the Venice Film Festival, what the critics had to say about the film, virgin sacrifice, and Gracie’s Suspiria dream that’s probably going to be better than the actual movie.
