Despite the legacy of its director, Rosemary's Baby remains an extremely relevant horror film about choice, control and bodily autonomy. So relevant, in fact, that it's our longest episode to date. Join Juliet and Theresa to talk about the myriad ways in which Rosemary's autonomy is chipped away, whether you can separate art from artist, and why roducer William Castle should have shown us the titular baby.
