The mis-genre is real! In this episode we are joined by Soviet cinema TikTok aficionado Mashka Wolfe who gives me a run for my conceptual money asking the tough questions about Oren Peli's "Chernobyl Diaries."

How does the government and man-made disaster play into folkloric discussion? How does the Chernobyl experience still effect people today? Is this actually a folk horror film or do I just have Wicker colored glasses on at all times?

Comrade Jump-Scare Bear is waiting, let's get folksy! ☢️🐻🫠
