Content warning--big themes of loss, violence, addiction etc.

The Haunting of Hill House is Mike Flanagan's beloved horror series on Netflix from 2018. It brings up big themes of family dysfunction, depression, violence, suicide, the dark side of parenthood, addiction, and more. Emilee and Julie discuss how they personally related to the show, especially Nell's Bent Neck Lady and Luke's addiction following his haunting by the Man in the Bowler Hat. We especially talk about ghosts and haunting as a metaphor for trauma and grief.

On this episode of Popcorn Therapy, Julie Peters is joined by David Hatfield, who has spent the last 30 years working in the fields of masculinity, conflict facilitation, and initiation work. We discuss Brad Pitt's Sonny Hayes and Damson Idris' JP and their relationships with the other characters in the film.

There are spoilers in this episode, but many will find it interesting even if they have not watched the F1 movie. Its plot is very similar to other movies that are marketed to a similar demographic, and the discussion on masculinity and initiation is fascinating.
