Announcements!

See us in conversation with Sarah Gailey, TJ Klune, Lily Menon, and Rivers Solomon at the Macmillan Library ALA Midwinter pregame event Thursday January 21, at 4 pm Eastern! Register here.

We now have merch! Check out our Redbubble shop for cute products with art by Anna on them.

In this episode, we discuss our pandemic coping mechanism, watching horror movies and television! Please note we recorded this in October 2020 (in case you’d like to compare that with the publication date of this post). In spite of how it sounds, we were not quarantined at opposite ends of a long tunnel during the recording. CW: frank discussion of various elements of horror.

download

In this episode, we discuss the movies we have seen since our last movie advisory episode (Episode 77), skipping those we already discussed on other episodes (Episode 81: Oscar Thoughts). We subscribed to MoviePass and it increased our volume of movies seen, but not the overall quality of movies in general. Light spoilers and content warning for gore and vomit mentions.

Already discussed: Black Panther, Call Me By Your Name, Coco, Ferdinand, The Greatest Showman, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, The Post, Proud Mary, The Shape of Water
