This week Nikki and Kate watched the horror anthology XX and definitely didn’t have a hard time speaking. They talk about mud more than you’d expect but they also discuss framing devices in anthologies, societal pressures put on mothers, and how to throw the perfect birthday party.

This week Nikki and Kate watched Paranormal Activity and learned everything there is to know about horror movie budgets. They’re literally experts now. Or they covered it in brief.
