On this week's episode, we're digging up queer writer/director Adam Robitel's found footage shocker The Taking of Deborah Logan!

After discussing the tropes of the found footage sub-genre, we'll discuss Robitel's ties to the Paranormal Activity franchise, and how this film does and doesn't stand out from its peers.

We'll also try to answer the most common questions brought up in discussions of the film: is the conflation of mental illness with possession offensive? Should the film have steered away from using First Nations/Indigenous practices as a plot point? (Why can't it just be a white person murder ritual, Karen?) and should more be made about Sarah's sexuality?

Plus: old lady possession vs hot young girl possession (paging Jennifer Carpenter!), snake wrangler sex jokes, concerns about the number of attics in a single house and, of course, lezzing out over Sarah and Sheriff Tweedy. 

And of course: our thoughts on that money shot scene.
