This week, we talk about horror movies with Harris of our Harris’s Hot Takes segment! Neeta and Harris talk about what got them into horror, why they keep going back and the horror movie tropes they like and dislike! Harris unpacks some ~family trauma~ and he and Neeta talk about their hopes for horror theory (and honestly all) academia and how it can shift to include marginalized people. Get ready for visceral Blockbuster flashbacks, very sad musings about aliens and a LOT of horror movie recommendations just in time for Halloween, 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!
