Earlier this year, we lost a dear friend and former podcast guest. Today, we remember her by rereleasing her original 2020 interview with a foreword from us and several of her friends.

We love you, Dawn.

Grab your monocle and join us as we digest Heathers (1988) with our friend Orion!

TRIGGER WARNING: This film deals heavily in themes of suicide, sexual assault, emotional abuse, and other sensitive topics. While we attempt to broach these in a respectful way, they are unavoidable in this episode. As always, trust your gut and stay safe.

One of us has a breakdown on air and the other is forced into the role of both interviewer and therapist. Somehow, we push through.
