That's So Gothic

Can you have bodily autonomy if you have no body? Thirteen Ghosts does NOT explore this question, but we do, as well as a game: Is it one of the Thir13en Ghosts or one of the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo?

Happy New Year, ghosties! We're celebrating by re-posting our first episode of 2022: mother!

If you give Ed Harris a cookie, then he'll want some whiskey. If you give him whiskey, then he'll invite his wife into your home. If he invites his wife, they'll invite their children. If they invite their children, genocide will break out in your living room. Wow, that escalated quickly! We're starting the year off with a bang by dissecting Darren Aronofsky's 2017 masterpiece, mother! Screenplay by Aronofsky. Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Harris, and a batshit insane cameo by Kristen Wiig.
