Joan Kipp. a community advocate and guidance counselor, receives a cookbook in the mail. When she opens it, she discovers it holds more than just recipes.

We have one of our own, Patron, Chelcea Carroll, narrating the intro!

I was a guest on WATCH IF YOU DARE, where we discuss Killing of A Sacred Deer. If it's not out the same day as this episode, it will be in the coming days. We had a lot of fun with this very strange movie.
