This week, We Need to Talk About Kevin... but not my husband, Kevin! A film so filled with dread, frustrating interactions between parents, and the taboo of being a mother that never wanted a child that you will feel the need to lay down after it is over and watch your comfort show. 

Your favorite Final Girl is back this week from holiday and a brief trip with a very special announcement! I have been selected to partner with a network! I am now a part of the incredible Morbidly Beautiful network and am so excited. Girls from small towns have the biggest dreams (and because I am a Final Girl, I achieve them). 

After you listen to my excitement, please buckle your seatbelts for a bumpy ride into the 2019 film Vivarium. You don't know what that word means? I didn't either, but now that I do, let me tell you all about it.

Hi listeners! I am slightly under the weather today, so I apologize in advance that this episode may not be as long as my others. Today's episode is about the 2013 film "Under the Skin" and boy oh boy, does it sure get under there and stick around...
