Welcome back to The Monstrous Feminine Podcast. We are now releasing weekly episodes under a monthly theme, and our theme for October is...horror lore! 📚

Of course we have to start with ‘The Babadook’ (2014) 🎩🏳️‍🌈, tackling the great ‘Is Babadook gay?’ debate. We then move on to discuss how this film works as an excellent metaphor for motherhood, depression and grief, as well as what lore means for children vs. adults. Finally, we ponder why we love camp/queer-coded villains so much.
