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.
