This week, we covered Halloween, from our Horror Franchise Showdown in October, with Harris of Harris’ Hot Takes! We start the episode talking about ski lift accidents and bleak video games and then open up a discussion about Halloween (1978) and Halloween (2018) and whether or not Michael Meyers being virtually unkillable is successful or a part of the franchise that is no longer satisfying. We also discuss the way slasher movies have changed since the first Halloween to the most recent one and talk about Carol Clover’s essay on The Final Girl. We mourn our favorite bisexual couple, Vicky and Dave, debate about the meta-humor in newer slashers since the Scream franchise, and so much more this week on ‘Bitch, Why?’.

Be sure to leave us a review and email us at [email protected] if you have a topic you want us to cover (or just to say hi)! We’ll read them on the pod!
