"Run" isn't just the title of those funny viral prank videos on Youtube but a new horror movie on Hulu. We discussed "Run", starring Sarah Paulson, and its portrayal of persons with disabilities, in detail during this episode. Beware— we couldn't cover it accurately without spoilers, so watch the movie first.

You may want to watch A Teacher (2013) movie and A Teacher (2020) Hulu original TV series before listening to this episode, because we go iiiiiinnnn. We don't shy away from discussing this teacher/student story any more than the movie and show do. Our discussion gets intense at times about consent, age gaps, mental health, crossing lines, pedophilia, power dynamics, and taboos. Trigger warning for anyone who has been a victim of grooming by a teacher.

This episode may feel more educational, which is great, especially if you're a writer wanting tips from a bestselling author. Mario Acevedo is that kind of author, artist, and professor-- knowledgeable at storytelling AND explaining how to improve in the art of storytelling... without making any of it feel technical. We had a blast discussing the power of horror, how Mario comes up with great book titles, what it was like getting a book deal, how he handled losing it, his best fan story, his Cats of Quarantine cartoon series, how he ended up writing vampire detective books, and a reading of his most disturbing scene. Check out Mario’s work at: MarioAcevedo.com and Adelantearts.com.

We had to break away from all that ails us and watch some horror. Listen as we review: Don't Look Back, His House, Vampires vs. the Bronx, Train to Busan Present: Peninsula, #Alive, The Craft: Legacy, Paranormal,  Behind You, and Haunting of Bly Manor.

Beware, we discuss politics in this episode. Aaaiiieeeee! I know, I know... but how could we not? 2020 Election news is huge right now. We also discussed what's new in our world and gave shout outs to some previous guests with new releases. By the end, we were up to our usual horror review tomfoolery, discussing HBO's Lovecraft Country.
